Out of the deep I call

Appears in 57 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 Used With Tune: ASTON

Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 6 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 First Line: Wrapt in a Christless shroud Lyrics: 1 Wrapt in a Christless shroud, He sleeps the Christless sleep; Above him, the eternal cloud, Beneath, the fiery deep. 2 Laid in a Christless tomb, There, bound with felon-chain, He waits the terrors of his doom, The judgment and the pain. 3 O Christless shroud, how cold, How dark, O Christless tomb! O grief that never can grow old, O endless, hopeless doom! 4 O Christless sleep, how sad! What waking shalt thou know? For thee no star, no dawning glad, Only the lasting woe! 5 To rocks and hills in vain Shall be the sinner’s call; O day of wrath, and death and pain, The lost soul’s funeral! 6 O Christless soul, awake, Ere thy last sleep begin! O Christ, the sleeper’s slumbers break, Burst Thou the bands of sin! Used With Tune: ASTON Text Sources: Hymns of Faith and Hope 2nd series (London, James Nisbet, 1861)
