Lyics

Plunged in a gulf of dark despair,

We wretched sinners lay,

Without one cheering beam of hope,

Or spark of glimm'ring day.

With pitying eye, the Prince of Peace

Beheld our helpless grief,

Beheld our helpless grief;

He saw, and oh, amazing love!

He ran to our relief,

He ran to our relief.
