Plunged in a Gulf of Dark Despair

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #5587 Meter: 8.6.8.6 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. Languages: English Tune Title: BALLERMA

Though I Am Poor and Sorrowful

Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #6741 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. Though I am poor and sorrowful, Hear Thou, O God, my cry; Let Thy salvation come to me And lift me up on high. 2. Then will I praise my God with song, To Him my thanks shall rise, And this shall please Jehovah more Than offered sacrifice. 3. The meek shall see it and rejoice; Ye saints, no more be sad; For lo, Jehovah hears the poor And makes his His prisoners glad. 4. Let Heaven and earth and seas rejoice, Let all therein give praise, For Zion God will surely save, Her broken walls will raise. 5. In Zion they that love His name Shall dwell from age to age, Yea, there shall be their lasting rest, Their children’s heritage. Languages: English Tune Title: BALLERMA

O Happy They Who Know The Lord

Author: John Newton Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8313 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O happy they who know the Lord, With whom He deigns to dwell! He feeds and cheers them by His Word, His arm supports them well. 2 To them, in each distressing hour, His throne of grace is near; And when they plead His love and power, He stands engaged to hear. 3 He helped His saints in ancient days Who trusted in His name; And we can witness, to His praise, His love is still the same. 4 Wandering in sin, our souls He found, And bid us seek His face; Gave us to hear the Gospel sound, And taste the Gospel grace. 5 Oft in His house His glory shines Before our wondering eyes; We wish not, then, for golden mines, Or aught beneath the skies. 6 His presence sweetens all our cares, And makes our burdens light; A word from Him dispels our fears, And gilds the gloom of night. 7 Lord, we expect to suffer here, Nor would we dare repine; But give us, still, to find Thee near; And own us, still, for Thine. 8 Let us enjoy, and highly prize These tokens of Thy love; Till Thou shalt bid our spirits rise, To worship Thee above.

Alas, What Hourly Dangers Rise!

Author: Anne Steele Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9482 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Alas, what hourly dangers rise! What snares beset my way! To Heav’n O let me lift my eyes, And hourly watch and pray. 2 How oft my mournful thoughts complain, And melt in flowing tears! My weak resistance, ah, how vain! How strong my foes and fears! 3 My gracious God, in whom I live, My feeble efforts aid, Help me to watch, and pray, and strive, Though trembling and afraid. 4 Increase my faith, increase my hope, When foes and fears prevail; And bear my fainting spirit up; Or soon my strength will fail. 5 Whene’er temptations fright my heart, Or lure my feet aside, My God, Thy powerful aid impart, My guardian and my guide. 6 O keep me in Thy heavenly way, And bid the tempter flee, And let me never, never stray From happiness and Thee.

O How Is Zion's Glory Gone!

Author: William H. Bathurst Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9549 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: O how is Zion’s glory gone! Lyrics: 1 O how is Zion’s glory gone! And vengeance, like a flood, Hath quenched her power, and not a stone Marks where her temple stood. 2 How are thy streets, Jerusalem, By careless strangers trod! And crushed thy once proud diadem Before the wrath of God! 3 How are thy friendless exiles sent Through distant lands to roam! Yet in each place of banishment They cannot find a home. 4 O Lord, look down with pitying eye Upon Thine ancient race; And bring Thy promised mercy nigh, And show Thy saving grace. 5 Remove the veil that long hath hid The Savior from their sight; Conquer their prejudice, and bid Their darkness turn to light. 6 O bring Thy scattered sheep again, And feed them as of old; Let Christ o’er all His people reign, One Shepherd, and one fold.

See, World, Upon The Bloody Tree

Author: Paul Gerhardt ; Philipp H. Molther Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9803 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 See, world, upon the bloody tree Thy life there sinks in death; Covered with stripes and wounds for thee, Thy Savior yields His breath. 2 Thou Prince of Glory knew’st no sin; What caused, Thee, then Thy pain? Thou harmless, undefiled and clean, What caused Thee to be slain? 3 My sins, as numerous as the sands, Upon the ocean shore, Have been the cruel murderous hands That wounded Thee so sore. 4 Thy anguish, Thy tormenting pain, And every dreadful woe, Thou didst so willingly sustain, My soul should undergo. 5 Thou on Thy shoulders tak’st the whole, To ease my burdened heart: Thou bear’st the curse, to bless my soul, And heal’st me with Thy smart. 6 Thy wondrous love to evidence, Thou wouldst my surety be; Thyself would’st pay my debt immense, Thereby to set me free. 7 Thou art destruction to the grave; Death’s enemy severe; That each who was before his slave, Might now be saved from fear. 8 My debt to Thee, Thou God of Love! Weak words cannot express; I cannot here, if there above, Show proper thankfulness. 9 Grant me but this while I am here, Since I can nothing give, Thy sufferings in my heart to bear, And in Thy death to live!

Thus I Resolved Before The Lord

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12810 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Thus I resolved before the Lord, "Now will I watch my tongue; Lest I let slip one sinful word, Or do my neighbor wrong." 2 And if I’m e’er constrained to stay With men of lives profane, I’ll set a double guard that day, Nor let my talk be vain. 3 I’ll scarce allow my lips to speak The pious thoughts I feel, Lest scoffers should th’ occasion take To mock my holy zeal. 4 Yet if some proper hour appear, I’ll not be overawed, But let the scoffing sinners hear That we can speak for God.
