Plunged in a gulf of dark despair

Hymnal: BW1870 #155 (1870) 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 glimm'ring day. 2 With pitying eyes the Prince of Grace Beheld 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, Enter'd the grave in mortal flesh, And dwelt among the dead. 4 He spoil'd the powers of darkness thus, And brake our iron chains; Jesus has freed our captive souls From everlasting pains. 5 Oh, for this love let rocks and hills Their lasting silence break, And all harmonious human tongues The Saviour’s praises speak. 6 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.

To our Redeemer's glorious name

Hymnal: BW1870 #156 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 To our Redeemer's glorious name Awake the sacred song! Oh, may His love, immortal flame, Tune ev'ry heart and tongue! 2 His love what mortal thought can reach! What mortal tongue display! Imagination's utmost stretch In wonder dies away. 3 He left His radiant throne on high, Left the bright realms of bliss, And came to earth to bleed and die! Was ever love like this? 4 Dear Lord, while we adoring pay Our humble thanks to Thee, May every heart with rapture say, "The Saviour died for me." 5 Oh, may the sweet, the blissful theme Fill ev'ry heart and tongue: Till strangers love Thy charming name, And join the sacred song.

Majestic sweetness sits enthroned

Hymnal: BW1870 #157 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Majestic sweetness sits enthroned Upon the Saviour's brow; His head with radiant glories crown'd, His lips with grace o'erflow. 2 No mortal can with Him compare Among the sons of men; Fairer is He than all the fair Who fill the heavenly train. 3 He saw me plunged in deep distress, And flew to my relief; For me He bore the shameful cross, And carried all my grief. 4 To Him I owe my life and breath, And all the joys I have; He makes me triumph over death, And saves me from the grave. 5 To heaven, the place of His abode, He brings my weary feet, Shows me the glories of my God, And makes my joys complete. 6 Since from His bounty I receive Such proofs of love divine, Had I a thousand hearts to give, Lord, they should all be Thine.

Oh, could I speak the matchless worth

Hymnal: BW1870 #159 (1870) Lyrics: 1 Oh, could I speak the matchless worth, Oh, could I sound the glories forth Which in my Saviour shine. I’d soar and touch the heavenly strings, And vie with Gabriel, while he sings, In notes almost divine. 2 I’d sing the precious blood He spilt, My ransom from the dreadful guilt Of sin and wrath divine; I’d sing His glorious righteousness, In which all perfect heavenly dress My soul shall ever shine. 3 I’d sing the characters He bears, And all the forms of love He wears, Exalted on His throne: In loftiest songs of sweetest praise, I would to everlasting days Make all His glories known. 4 Well, the delightful day will come, When my dear Lord will bring me home, And I shall see His face; Then with my Saviour, brother, friend, A blest eternity I’ll spend Triumphant in His grace.

Join all the glorious names

Mine eyes with joy And wonder see What forms of love He bears for me. 3 Array'd in mortal flesh, He like an angel stands, And holds the promises And pardons in His hands; Commission'd from His Father's throne, To make His grace To mortals known. 4 Great Prophet of my God! My tongue would bless Thy name: By Thee the joyful news Of our salvation came; The joyful news Of sin forgiven, Of hell subdued, And peace with heaven.

What equal honors shall we bring

Hymnal: BW1870 #164 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 What equal honors shall we bring To Thee, O Lord our God, the Lamb, When all the notes that angels sing Are far inferior to Thy name? 2 Worthy is He that once was slain, The Prince of peace that groan'd and died, Worthy to rise, and live, and reign At His Almighty Father’s side. 3 All riches are His native right, Yet He sustain'd amazing loss; To Him ascribe eternal might, Who nail'd His weakness to the cross. 4 Blessings for ever on the Lamb, Who bore the curse for wretched men: Let angels sound His sacred name, And ev'ry creature say, "Amen!"
