Author: Thomas à Kempis, 1380-1471; Benjamin Webb, 1819-1885 Hymnal: Christian Worship #545 (2021) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Ephesians 3:17-21 First Line: O love, how deep, how broad, how high Lyrics: 1 O love, how deep, how broad, how high,
beyond all thought and fantasy,
that God, the Son of God, should take
our mortal form for mortals' sake!
2 He sent no angel to our race,
of higher or of lower place,
but wore the robe of human frame,
and to this world himself he came.
3 For us baptized, for us he bore
his holy fast and hungered sore;
for us temptation sharp he knew,
for us the tempter overthrew.
4 For us he prayed, for us he taught;
for us his daily works he wrought,
by words and signs and actions thus
still seeking not himself but us.
5 For us, by wicked men betrayed,
for us, in crown of thorns arrayed,
he bore the shameful cross and death;
for us he gave his dying breath.
6 For us he rose from death again,
for us he went on high to reign;
for us he sent his Spirit here
to guide, to strengthen, and to cheer.
7 All glory to our Lord and God
for love so deep, so high, so broad,
the Trinity whom we adore
forever and forevermore. Topics: Redeemer Languages: English Tune Title: DEO GRACIAS
