Down from Their Home on High

Down from their home on high

Down thro’ the star­ry sky

Angels des­cend­ing fly

While the earth shak­eth;

Roll they the stone away

From where the Sav­ior lay—

Out into glo­ri­ous day

His way He tak­eth.

Loud hal­le­lu­jahs! Loud hal­le­lu­jahs!

Our ris­en Sav­ior

to Thee we sing:

Hallelujah! Hal­le­lu­jah! Hal­le­lu­jah!

He from the grave is gone

Treading the way alone;

Death now is ov­er­thrown

By His en­dea­vor!

Where is thy vic­to­ry

O Grave? and where shall be

O Death

our fear of thee?

Vanished for­ev­er!

Sing we Thy praise for aye

Who washed our sins away;

Unto Thy name al­way

We shall be sing­ing:

Far down the tracts of time

Shall ev­ery earth­ly clime

Join in the song sub­lime

With prais­es ring­ing!
