Plung'd in a gulph of dark Despair

Appears in 480 hymnals Topics: Praise to the Redeemer Lyrics: 1 Plung'd in a Gulph of dark Despair, We wretched Sinners lay, Without one chearful Beam of Hope, Or Spark of glimm'ring 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 Pow'rs 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 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 Yes, we will praise Thee, dearest Lord, Our Souls are all on Flame; Hosanna 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.

Amen. Used With Tune: BEVAN

How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed. 3 The Lord has promised good to me; His Word my hope secures. He will my shield and portion be As long as life endures. 4 Thro' many dangers, toils, and snares I have already come. 'Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far, And grace will lead me home. 5 When we’ve been there ten thousand years, Bright shining as the sun, We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise Than when we’d first begun.
