O love, how deep, how broad, how high!

Author: Thomas à Kempis (c. 1379-1471); Benjamin Webb (1819-1885)' Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 139 hymnals Matching Instances: 17 Lyrics: 1 O love, how deep, how broad, how high! It fills the heart with ecstasy, 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 himself, and to this lost world came. 3 For us he was baptized, and bore his holy fast, and hungered sore; for us temptations sharp he knew; for us the tempter overthrew. 4 For us to wicked men betrayed, scourged, mocked, in purple robe arrayed, he bore the shameful cross and death; for us at length gave up his breath. 5 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. 6 To him whose boundless love has won salvation for us through his Son, to God the Father, glory be both now and through eternity.

Come, Follow Me, the Savior Spake

Author: Charles W. Schaeffer, d. 1896; Johann Scheffler Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8 Appears in 26 hymnals Matching Instances: 11 Lyrics: 1 Come, follow Me, the Savior spake, All in My way abiding; Deny yourselves, the world forsake, Obey My call and guiding. Oh, bear the cross, whate'er betide, Take My example for your guide. 2 I am the Light, I light the way, A godly life displaying; I bid you walk as in the day, I keep your feet from straying. I am the Way, and well I show How you must sojourn here below. 3 My heart bounds in lowliness, My soul with love is glowing, And gracious words my lips express, With meekness overflowing. My heart, My mind, My strength, My all, To God I yield, on Him I call. 4 I teach you how to shun and flee What harms your soul's salvation, Your heart from every guile to free, From sin and its temptation. I am the Refuge of the soul And lead you to your heavenly goal. 5 Then let us follow Christ, our Lord, And take the cross appointed And, firmly clinging to His Word, In suffering be undaunted. For who bears not the battle's strain The crown of life shall not obtain. Amen.

Foss Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8 Appears in 11 hymnals Matching Instances: 7 Lyrics: 1 To realms of glory I behold My risen Lord returning; While I, a stranger in the earth, For heav'n am ever yearning. Far from my heav'nly Father’s home, ’Mid toil and sorrow here I roam. 2 Far from my home--how long, dear Lord, Before my exile endeth? But far beyond the realms of sense My fervent prayer ascendeth: My prayer, unuttered, but a groan, Shall rend the skies and reach Thy throne. 3 Then visions of the goodly land By faith my soul obtaineth; There I shall dwell for evermore Where Christ in glory reigneth, In mansions of that bright abode, The city of the living God. 4 In that blest city is no night, Nor any pain or weeping; There is my treasure, there my heart, Safe in my Saviour’s keeping; In heaven, my blessèd Lord, with Thee, May all my conversation be. 5 In glory He shall come again To earth as He ascended; So let me wait and watch and pray, Until my day is ended. that day, O Lord, is hid from me, But daily do I wait for Thee. 6 And blessèd shall that servant be, O Lord, at Thy returning, Whose heart is waiting, Lord, for Thee, Whose lamp is trimmed and burning; Him wilt Thou take to dwell with Thee, In joy and peace eternally. Amen.
