Down from the Worlds of Radiant Light

Down from the worlds of ra­di­ant light

Behold the Sav­ior come

To ran­som souls from end­less night

And bring the wan­der­ers home.

He calls us to His dear em­brace

From mi­se­ry and des­pair

Bids us re­ceive His won­drous grace

And seek sal­va­tion there.

We come

Em­ma­nu­el

at Thy call

Believe Thy glad­den­ing Word

Renounce our sins

our­selves

our all

And glo­ry in our Lord.

Salvation to Mes­si­ah’s name

With grate­ful hearts we sing

And join our voic­es to pro­claim

Our Sav­ior and our king.

Immortal praise to God be­longs

For such un­fa­thomed love;

Join

all be­low

in rap­tur­ous songs

And shout

ye hosts ab­ove.
