Isaac Watts - Hymn 96Isaac Watts - Hymn 96
Work rating: Low


Distinguishing love; or, Angels punished and man saved. Down headlong from their native skies The rebel angels fell, And thunderbolts of flaming wrath Pursued them deep to hell. Down from the top of earthly bliss Rebellious man was hurled, And Jesus stooped beneath the grave To reach a sinking world. O love of infinite degree! Unmeasurable grace! Must heav`n`s eternal darling die, To save a trait`rous race? Must angels sink for ever down, And burn in quenchless fire, While God forsakes his shining throne To raise us wretches higher? O for this love let earth and skies With hallelujahs ring, And the full choir of human tongues All hallelujahs sing.
