Author: Benjamin Webb Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #121 (1961) Meter: 8.8.8.8 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 to wicked men betrayed,
Scourged, mocked, in crown of thorns arrayed;
For us he bore the cross's death,
For us at length gave up his breath.
4 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.
5 All honor, laud, and glory be,
O Jesus, virgin-born, to thee;
Whom with the Father we adore,
And Holy Ghost, for evermore.
Amen. Topics: Christ, The Lord Jesus; Christ Deity of; Christ Life, Ministry and Obedience of; Christ Love and Grace of; Christ Only Mediator and Redeemer; Christ Substitute; Incarnation; Preparatory Service Scripture: Ephesians 3:17-19 Languages: English Tune Title: MELCOMBE
