des­cend­ing

What re­joic­ing there will be;
What re­joic­ing there will be;
With a mar­shaled host
And burst­ing by Thy might the in­fer­nal chain
To fill this fa­vored hour.
Grace un­eq­ualed, love un­known!
The Lord com­mands His bless­ing here
Become in­car­nate in Thy love.
O’er Ju­dea’s hill and plain?
Blest by Thee, prove ef­fi­ca­cious
Coming for me, for me:
Like the grace of God;
Calls us soon to need­ful sleep;
On the hearts and the pray’rs of the saints
