O love, how deep, how broad, how high

Author: Benjamin Webb, 1819-1885 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 139 hymnals 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 wicked hands 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 strengthen, and to cheer. 6 All glory to our Lord and God for love so deep, so high, so broad; the Trinity whom we adore for ever and for evermore.

Now Let Us from This Table Rise

We sing the praise of him who died

Author: Thomas Kelly, 1769 - 1854 Appears in 192 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We sing the praise of him who died, Of him who died upon the Cross; The sinner's hope let men deride, For this we count the world but loss. 2 Inscribed upon the Cross we see, In shining letters, 'God is Love.' He bears our sins upon the Tree; He brings us mercy from above. 3 The Cross, it takes our guilt away; It holds the fainting spirit up; It cheers with hope the gloomy day, And sweetens every bitter cup. 4 It makes the coward spirit brave, And nerves the feeble arm for fight; It takes its terror from the grave, And gilds the bed of death with light; 5 The balm of life, the cure of woe, The measure and the pledge of love, The sinner's refuge here below, The angels' theme in heaven above.

Everest Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 296 hymnals Lyrics: 1 "Take up your cross," the Savior said, "if you would my disciple be; Take up your cross with willing heart and humbly follow after me." 2 Take up your cross; let not its weight fill your weak spirit with alarm; Christ's strength will bear your spirit up and brace your heart, support your arm. 3 Take up your cross, heed not the shame, and let your foolish pride be still; For Christ did not refuse to die upon a cross on Calvary's hill. 4 Take up your cross and follow Christ, nor think till death to lay it down, For only those who bear the cross may hope to wear the glorious crown.
