Look Down, O Lord

Author: Philip Doddridge Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 116 hymnals First Line: Look down, O Lord, with pitying eye Lyrics: 1 Look down, O Lord, with pitying eye; See Adam’s race in ruin lie; Sin spreads its trophies o’er the ground, And scatters slaughtered heaps around. 2 And can these moldering corpses live? And can these perished bones revive? That, mighty God, to Thee is known; That wondrous work is all Thine own. 3 Thy ministers are sent in vain To prophesy upon the slain; In vain they call, in vain they cry, ’Till Thine almighty aid is nigh. 4 But if Thy Spirit deign to breathe, Life spreads thro’ all the realms of death; Dry bones obey the powerful voice; They move, they waken, they rejoice. 5 So when Thy trumpet’s awful sound Shall shake the heav’ns, and rend the ground, Dead saints shall from their tombs arise, And spring to life beyond the skies.

Hark! Hear Ye Not The Angel Song?

Author: Godfrey Thring Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 6 hymnals First Line: Hark! hear ye not the angel song Lyrics: 1 Hark! hear ye not the angel song The hills of Bethlehem among? To you, this day, th’incarnate Word, To you, the everlasting Lord. 2 To you, on earth, this happy morn, To you the Prince of Peace is born, Whilst heav’n re-echoes yet again Peace—peace on earth, good will to men. 3 Thus angels sang, and thus sing we, To God on high all glory be, Let Him on earth His peace bestow, And unto men His favor show. 4 For dead indeed must be the heart, Thrice dead, which will not bear a part, And with the angel choir proclaim, A Savior born in Bethlehem. 5 Then men and maidens, young and old, Come join the shepherds at the fold, And singing list, and listening sing A carol to our newborn king.
