CHAPTER I.

THE DARK WORLD AND THE GREAT LIGHT.

Plunged in a gulf of dark despair,

We wretched sinners lay,
Without one cheerful beam of hope,
Or spark of glimmering day.

With pitying eyes the Prince of Peace

Their lasting silence break,
And all harmonious human tongues
The Saviour's praises speak!
