See, from on High, a Light Divine

lyricist: James Cox, 1812
Composer: Thomas Hastings, 1831

See

from on high

a light di­vine

On Je­sus’ head des­cend;

And hear the sac­red voice from Heav’n

That bids us all at­tend:

This is My well be­lov­èd Son

Proclaimed the voice di­vine:

Hear Him

His heav­en­ly Fa­ther said

For all His words are Mine.

His mis­sion thus con­firmed from Heav­en

The great Mes­si­ah came

And heav’nly wis­dom taught to man

In God the Fa­ther’s name.

The path of heav’n­ly peace He showed

That leads to bliss on high

Where all His faith­ful fol­low­ers here

Shall live

no more to die.

O may we then

who own Him Lord

And His loved name pro­fess

By all our words and act­ions prove

That we His mind pos­sess.
