Alas what hourly dangers rise
Plunged in a Gulf of Dark Despair
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 481 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Plunged 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,
Entered the grave in mortal flesh,
And dwelt among the dead.
4. He spoiled the powers of darkness thus,
And brake our iron chains;
Jesus hath freed our captive souls
From everlasting pains.
5. In vain the baffled prince of hell
His cursèd projects tries
We that were doomed his endless slaves
Are raised above the skies.
6. O for this love let rocks and hills
Their lasting silence break,
And all harmonious human tongues
The Savior’s praises speak.
7. Yes, we will praise Thee, dearest Lord,
Our souls are all on flame;
Hosannah round the spacious earth
To Thine adored name.
8. 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. Used With Tune: BALLERMA Text Sources: Hymns and Spiritual Songs, 1707

Blest Jesus! come Thou gently down
How bright these glorious spirits shine!
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 158 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How bright these glorious spirits shine!
Whence all their white array?
How came they to the blissful seats
of everlasting day?
2 Lo! these are they from sufferings great
who came to realms of light,
and in the blood of Christ have washed
those robes that shine so bright.
3 Now with triumphal palms they stand
before the throne on high,
and serve the God they love amidst
the glories of the sky.
4 Hunger and thirst are felt no more,
nor sun with scorching ray:
God is their sun, whose cheering beams
diffuse eternal day.
5 The Lamb, who dwells amid the throne,
shall o'er them still preside,
feed them with nourishment divine,
and all their footsteps guide.
6 In pastures green he'll lead his flock
where living streams appear;
and God the Lord from every eye
shall wipe off every tear. Topics: Saints; Proper 23 Year A; All Saints' Sunday Scripture: Isaiah 25:8 Used With Tune: BALLERMA

O Father, Kindly Deign To Hear
Author: William R. Alger Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Father, kindly deign to hear
The thanks Thy children bring;
Help us with love and reverent fear
Thy lofty praise to sing.
2 And while before Thy throne we bow,
Come Thou to every heart:
From sin O purify us now;
Give us that better part.
3 Remove today the world’s wild din;
Our souls from evil save;
Help us life’s noblest crown to win;
Guide us beyond the grave. Used With Tune: BALLERMA Text Sources: Singers and Songs of the Liberal Faith by Alfred P. Putnam (Boston: Roberts Brothers, 1875)
O Father, Kindly Deign To Hear
How Happy is the Youth
Appears in 8 hymnals First Line: How happy is the youth who hears Lyrics: 1 How happy is the youth who hears
Instruction's warning voice,
And who celestial wisdom makes
His early, only choice.
2 For she has treasure greater far
Than east or west unfold;
And her rewards more precious are
Than all their stores of gold.
3 She guides the young with innocence
In pleasure's path to tread;
A crown of glory she bestows
Upon the hoary head.
4 According as her labors rise,
So her rewards increase;
Her ways are ways of pleasantness,
And all her paths are peace. Used With Tune: BALERMA
