5 To our Redeemer God, 45. PRAISE FOR REDEMPTION. Melrose Bishopthorpe-Tiverton. 1 Plunged in a gulf of dark despair Without one cheerful beam of hope, 2 With pitying eyes the Prince of grace He saw, and O, amazing love! He came to our relief. 3 Down from the shining seats above, C. M. 4 He spoiled the powers of darkness thus, 5 O for this love let rocks and hills Their lasting silence break, And all harmonious human tongues 46. NO HOPE EXCEPT IN CHRIST. C. M.
