Plunged in a gulf of dark despair

Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 478 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 2:7 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 Behold our helpless grief; He saw, and--oh, 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 Oh, for this love, let rocks and hills Their lasting silence break, And all harmonious human tongues The Saviour's praises speak. 5 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.

Philip. 2:6-12: Ye who the name of Jesus bear

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 15 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 2:6-12 First Line: Ye who the name of Jesus bear Lyrics: Ye who the name of Jesus bear, his sacred steps pursue; And let that mind which was in him be also found in you. Though in the form of God he was, his only Son declared, Nor to be equally adored as robb’ry did regard; His greatness he for us abased, for us his glory vailed; In human likeness dwelt on earth, his majesty concealed: Nor only as a man appears, but stoops a servant low; Submits to death, nay, bears the cross, in all its shame and woe. Hence God this gen’rous love to men with honours just hath crowned, And raised the name of Jesus far above all names renowned: That at this name, with sacred awe, each humble knee should bow Of hosts immortal in the skies, and nations spread below: That all the prostrate pow’rs of hell might tremble at his word, And ev’ry tribe, and ev’ry tongue, confess that he is Lord.
