Plunged in a Gulf of Dark Despair (EN 2487)

EN 2487 Plunged in a Gulf of Dark Despair

Isa.63.9

Versi Version 1

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 cursed 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.
