O Love, How Deep, How Broad
Author: Benjamin Webb Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 139 hymnals Scripture: Acts 2:1-4 First Line: O Love, how deep, how broad, how high Lyrics: 1 O Love, how deep, how broad, how high,
how passing thought and fantasy:
that God, the Son of God, should take
our mortal form for mortals' sake.
2 For us baptized, for us he bore
his holy fast and hungered sore;
for us temptations sharp he knew,
for us the tempter overthrew.
3 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.
4 For us to evil power betrayed,
scourged, mocked, in purple robe arrayed,
he bore the shameful cross and death,
for us gave up his dying 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 comfort, and to cheer.
6 All glory to our Lord and God
for love so deep, so high, so broad–
the Trinity whom we adore
forever and forevermore.

Author: Fred Kaan, b. 1929 Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 6 hymnals Scripture: Acts 2:1-11 Lyrics: 1 This is the day when light was first created,
Symbol and gift of order and design.
In light is God's intention clearly stated,
The break of day reveals his loving mind.
2 This is the day of our complete surprising,
Repeat of Easter: Christ has come to life!
Now is the feast of love's revolt and rising
Against the rule of hell and death and grief.
3 We join to praise, with ev'ry race and nation,
The God who with the world his Spirit shares;
Strong wind of change and earth's illumination,
Dispelling static thoughts and darkest fears.
4 This is the day of worship and of vision,
Great birthday of the church in ev'ry land.
Let Christians all confess their sad division
And seek the strength again as one to stand.
5 We pray that this, the day of re-creation,
May hallow all the week this is to come.
Help us, O Lord, to lay a good foundation
For all we do at work, at school, at home.

Come, O Spirit, Dwell Among Us
Author: Janie Alford Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 5 hymnals Scripture: Acts 2:1-4 Lyrics: 1 Come, O Spirit, dwell among us,
Come with Pentecostal power;
Give the church a stronger vision,
Help us face each crucial hour.
Built upon a firm foundation,
Jesus Christ, the Cornerstone,
Still the church is called to mission
That God's love shall be made known.
2 We would raise our alleluias
For the grace of yester-years;
For tomorrow's unknown pathway,
Hear, O Lord, our humble prayers.
In the church's pilgrim journey
You have led us all the way,
Still in presence move before us,
Fire by night and cloud by day.
3 Come, O Spirit, dwell among us;
Give us words of fire and flame.
Help our feeble lips to praise You,
Glorify Your holy name.
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
Three in one: what mystery!
We would sing our loud hosannas
Now and through eternity. Used With Tune: EBENEZER
Come, O Spirit, Dwell Among Us
