Azmon

C.M.

Arranged from Glaser

Coda.—Do not sing th coda to the 1st and 3d verses.

Glaser

Refrain (For verses 2,4, and 5)

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 peace

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 sped fled,

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 Savior'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.

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah.
