Lyrics:

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 eyes the Prince of Peace
Beheld our helpless grief:
He saw and (Oh, amazing love!)
He ran to our relief.
Coda
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Down from the shining seats above
With joyful haste he fled
Enter'd the grave in mortal flesh,
And dwelt among the dead.
Oh! for this love let rocks and hills
Their lasting silence break,
And all harmonious human tongues
The Saviour's praises speak.
Coda
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
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.
Coda
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
