==Lyrics from [[A Collection of Sacred Hymns, for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, 1841]]==<br />
<pre>Hymn 57<br />
C.M.<br />
1. Plunged in a gulf of dark despair,<br />
We wretched sinners lay,<br />
Without one cheerful beam of hope,<br />
Or spark of glimmering day!<br />
<br />
2. With pitying eyes the prince of grace<br />
Beheld our helpless grief:<br />
He saw—and—oh amazing love!—<br />
He came to our relief.<br />
<br />
3. Down from the shining seats above<br />
With joyful haste he fled,<br />
Entered the grave in mortal flesh,<br />
And dwelt among the dead.<br />
<br />
4. Oh! for this love let rocks and hills<br />
Their lasting silence break,<br />
And all harmonious human tongues<br />
The Savior's praises speak.<br />
<br />
5. Angels! assist our mighty joys,<br />
Strike all your harps of gold;<br />
But when you raise your highest notes,<br />
His love can ne'er be told.</pre><br />
