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 144 hymnals 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. Topics: Atonement; Church year Passiontide; Church Year Good Friday; Church Year Ascension; God Love of; Jesus baptism; Jesus temptations; Palm Sunday Year C; Passiontide Scripture: Matthew 4:1-11 Used With Tune: EISENACH

Jesu, thou joy of loving hearts
Author: Ray Palmer, 1808-1887 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 580 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesu, thou joy of loving hearts,
thou fount of life, thou perfect grace;
from the best bliss that earth imparts
we turn unfilled to seek thy face.
2 Thy truth unchanged hath ever stood;
thou savest those that on thee call;
to them that seek thee thou art good,
to them that find thee, all in all.
3 We taste thee, O thou living bread,
and long to feast upon thee still;
we drink of thee, the fountain-head,
and thirst our souls from thee to fill.
4 Our restless spirits yearn for thee,
where'er our changeful lot is cast,
glad when thy gracious smile we see,
blest when our faith is holding fast.
5 O Jesu, ever with us stay;
make all our moments calm and bright;
chase the dark night of sin away;
shed o'er the world thy holy light. Topics: Holy Communion; Joy, Praise and Thanksgiving; Year A Lent 3; Year B Pentecost; Year B Proper 14; Year B Proper 15; Years A, B, and C Day of Thanksgiving for Holy Communion Scripture: Acts 2:21 Used With Tune: EISENACH Text Sources: 12th century
Jesu, thou joy of loving hearts
With broken heart and contrite sigh
Author: Cornelius Elven Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 222 hymnals Lyrics:
With broken heart and contrite sigh,
A trembling sinner, Lord, I cry:
Thy pardoning grace is rich and free:
O God, be merciful to me.
I smite upon my troubled breast,
With deep and conscious guilt oppressed;
Christ and his cross my only plea:
O God, be merciful to me.
Far off I stand with tearful eyes,
Nor dare uplift them to the skies;
But thou dost all my anguish see:
O God, be merciful to me.
Nor alms, nor deeds that I have done,
Can for a single sin atone;
To Calvary alone I flee:
O God, be merciful to me.
And when, redeemed from sin and hell,
With all the ransomed throng I dwell,
My raptured song shall ever be,
God has been merciful to me.
Amen.

Captain of Israel's Host
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 70 hymnals First Line: Captain of Israel's host, and guide Lyrics: 1. Captain of Israel’s host, and guide
Of all who seek the land above,
Beneath Thy shadow we abide,
The cloud of Thy protecting love;
Our strength, Thy grace; our rule, Thy Word;
Our end, the glory of the Lord.
2. By Thine unerring Spirit led,
We shall not in the desert stray;
The light of man’s direction need
Or miss our providential way;
As far from danger as from fear,
While love, almighty love, is near. Used With Tune: EISENACH Text Sources: Short Hymns, 1762
