Plung'd in a gulf of dark despair
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #349 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Salvation through Jesus Christ Addresses to Christ and gratitude for redeeming love Lyrics: 1 Plung'd in a gulf of dark despair
We wretched sinners lay,
Without one cheerful beam of hope,
Or spark of glimmering day.
2 With pitying eyes, the Prince of Grace
Beheld our helpless grief,
He saw, and (O amazing love!)
He ran to our relief.
3 Down from the shining seats above
With joyful haste he fled,
Enter'd the grave in mortal flesh,
And dwelt among the dead.
4 He spoil'd the powers of darkness thus,
And brake our iron chains;
Jesus has freed our captive souls
From everlasting pains.
5 In vain the baffled prince of hell
His cursed projects tries,
We that were doom'd his endless slaves
Are rais'd above the skies.
6 O for this love, let rocks and hills
Their lasting silence break,
And all harmonious human tongues
The Saviour's praises speak.
7 Angels, assist our mighty joys,
Strike all your harps of gold;
But when you raise your highest notes
His love can ne'er be told.
Plung'd in a gulf of dark despair

Be, Lord, forever thine.

Of him that sits upon the throne
And to adore the Lamb. Languages: English Tune Title: NUN DANKET ALL

O Conqueror renowned!
O Source of peace ineffable,
In whom all joys are found:

Then truth begins to shine,
Then earthly vanity departs,
Then kindles love divine.
3 O Jesus, light of all below,
The fount of life and fire,
Surpassing all the joys we know,
All that we can desire:
4 May ev'ry heart confess your name,
Forever you adore,
And, seeking you, itself inflame
To seek you more and more!
5 Oh, may our tongues forever bless,
May we love you alone
And ever in our lives express
The image of your own! Languages: English Tune Title: HIDING PLACE
O Jesus, King Most Wonderful
Awake, my soul, in joyful lays
Author: M. Medley Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #432 (1913) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Jesus Christ Our Redeemer Lyrics: 1 Awake, my soul, in joyful lays
And sing Thy great Redeemer’s praise;
He justly claims a song from thee,
His lovingkindness, O how free!
2 He saw me ruined in the fall,
Yet loved me notwithstanding all;
And saved me from my lost estate,
His lovingkindness, O how great!
3 Though numerous hosts of mighty foes;
Though earth and hell my way oppose,
He safely leads my soul along.
His lovingkindness, O how strong!
4 When trouble, like a gloomy cloud,
Has gathered thick and thundered loud,
He near my soul has always stood,
His lovingkindness, O how good!
5 Often I feel my sinful heart,
Prone from my Savior to depart;
But though I oft have Him forgot,
His lovingkindness changes not.
6 Soon shall I pass the gloomy vale,
Soon all my mortal powers must fail;
O may my last expiring breath
His lovingkindness praise in death.

Let every heart a prepare a throne,
And every voice a song!

Exerts his sacred fire;
Wisdom and might, and zeal and love,
His holy breast inspire.
3 He comes the prisoners to release,
In Satan's bondage held,
The gates of brass before him burst,
The iron fetters yield.
4 He comes, from thickest clouds of vice
To clear the mental ray'
And on the eyes opprest with night,
To pour celestial day.
5 He comes, the broken heart to bind,
The bleeding soul to cure;
And, with the treasures of his grace,
T' inrich the humble poor.
6 Our glad Hosannas, prince of peace,
Thy welcome shall proclaim:
And heaven's eternal arches ring
With thy beloved name. Scripture: Luke 4:18-19 Languages: English

Lord, when my Tho'ts with Wonder roll
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #II.V (1766) Topics: Peace of Conscience; Praise imperfect on Earth; Praise to teh Redeemer; Praise to the Redeemer; Longing to praise Christ better Lyrics: 1 Lord, when my Tho'ts with Wonder roll
O'er the sharp Sorrows of thy Soul;
And read my Maker's broken Laws,
Repair'd and honour'd by thy Cross:
2 When I behold Death, Hell, and Sin,
Vanquish'd by that dear Blood of thine,
And see the Man that groan'd and dy'd
Sit glorious by his Father's Side:
3 My Passions rise and soar above,
I'm wing'd with Faith, and fir'd with Love;
Fain would I reach eternal Things,
And learn the Notes that Gabriel sings.
4 But my Heart fails, my Tongue complains,
For Want of their immortal Strains;
And in such humble Notes as these
Must fall below thy Victories.
5 Well, the kind Minute must appear,
When we shall leave these Bodies here;
These Clogs of Clay, and mount on high,
To join the Songs above the Sky.

Hallelujah!
Thanks, eternal thanks to Thee!

And shall never, never cease;
Keep, oh, keep me, Lord, from sinning;
Guide me in the way of peace:

All the paths of holiness.

And my soul returns to Thee,
Let the power of thy ascension
Manifest itself in me;
Through Thy Spirit,
Give the final victory.

When my soul and body join;
When my Saviour comes to judgment,
Bright in majesty divine,
Let me triumph
In Thy righeousness as mine. Languages: English
Every fallen soul, by sinning
