From Heaven the Sinning Angels Fell

Isaac Watts· Post-Reformation

Highlight

Verse 1

From heaven the sinning angels fell,
And wrath and darkness chain’d them down;
But man, vile man, forsook his bliss,
And mercy lifts him to a crown.

Verse 2

Amazing work of sovereign grace
That could distinguish rebels so!
Our guilty treasons call’d aloud
For everlasting fetters too.

Verse 3

To thee, to thee, Almighty Love,
Our souls, ourselves, our all we pay:
Millions of tongues shall sound thy praise
On the bright hills of heavenly day.

Isaac Watts, “From Heaven the Sinning Angels Fell”
