Thomas Sternhold Quotes

“The Lord descended from above
And bow’d the heavens high;
And underneath his feet he cast
The darkness of the sky.

On cherubs and on cherubims
Full royally he rode;
And on the wings of all the winds
Came flying all abroad.”

Thomas Sternhold

A Metrical Version of Psalm 104, reported in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919).
