Plunged in a gulf of dark despair
Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 480 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Plunged in a gulf of dark despair,
We wretched sinners lay,
Without one cheering 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 came to our relief.
3 Down from the shining courts above,
With joyful haste he sped,
Entered the grave in mortal flesh,
And dwelt among the dead.
4 O for this love let rocks and hills
Their lasting silence break;
And all harmonious human tongues,
The Saviour's praises speak. Topics: The Sinner Christ the Way of Life Used With Tune: MONSON

My Soul, How Lovely Is the Place
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 158 hymnals Lyrics: 1. My soul, how lovely is the place
To which thy God resorts!
’Tis heav’n to see His smiling face,
Though in His earthly courts.
2. There the great Monarch of the skies
His saving power displays,
And light breaks in upon our eyes
With kind and quick’ning rays.
3. With His rich gifts the heav’nly Dove
Descends and fills the place,
While Christ reveals His wondrous love,
And sheds abroad His grace.
4. There, mighty God, Thy words declare
The secrets of Thy will;
And still we seek Thy mercy there,
And sing Thy praises still.
5. My heart and flesh cry out for Thee,
While far from Thine abode;
When shall I tread Thy courts, and see
My Savior and my God?
6. The sparrow builds herself a nest,
And suffers no remove;
O make me, like the sparrows, blest,
To dwell but where I love.
7. To sit one day beneath Thine eye,
And hear Thy gracious voice,
Exceeds a whole eternity
Employed in carnal joys.
8. Lord, at Thy threshold I would wait
While Jesus is within,
Rather than fill a throne of state,
Or live in tents of sin.
9. Could I command the spacious land,
And the more boundless sea,
For one blest hour at Thy right hand
I’d give them both away. Used With Tune: MONSON Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719

How helpless guilty nature lies
Author: Anne Steele Appears in 233 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How helpless guilty nature lies,
Unconscious of its load!
The heart, unchanged, can never rise,
To happiness and God.
2 Can aught, beneath a power divine,
The stubborn will subdue?
'Tis thine, almighty Spirit! thine,
To form the heart anew.
3 'Tis thine, the passions to recall,
And upward bid them rise;
To make the scales of error fall
From reason's darkened eyes.
4 Oh change these wretched hearts of ours,
And give them life divine;
Then shall our passions and our powers,
Almighty Lord! be thine. Topics: The Sinner Christ the Way of Life Used With Tune: MONSON

Vain are the hopes the sons of men
Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 136 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Vain are the hopes the sons of men
On their own works have built;
Their hearts, by nature, all unclean,
And all their actions, guilt.
2 Let Jew and Gentile equal stand,
Without a murmuring word;
And the whole race of Adam own
Their guilt before the Lord.
3 Jesus, how glorious is thy grace;
When in thy name we trust,
Our faith receives a righteousness
That makes the sinner just. Topics: The Sinner Christ the Way of Life Used With Tune: MONSON

Jesus, these eyes have never seen
In vain we seek for peace with God
Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 87 hymnals Lyrics: 1 In vain we seek for peace with God
By methods of our own:
No other plea than Jesus' blood
Can bring us near the throne.
2 The threatenings of the broken law
Impress the soul with dread;
If God his sword of vengeance draw,
It strikes the spirit dead.
3 But thine illustrious sacrifice
Hath answered these demands,
And peace and pardon from the skies
Are offered by thy hands.
4 'Tis by thy death we live, O Lord!
'Tis on thy cross we rest:
Forever be thy love adored,
Thy name forever blessed. Topics: The Sinner Christ the Way of Life Used With Tune: MONSON
