Author: Thomas a Kempis, 1380-1471; Benjamin Webb, 1819-1885 Hymnal: The A.M.E. Zion Hymnal #128 (1999) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Oh, love, how deep, how broad, how high Lyrics: 1 Oh, love, how deep, how broad, how high,
Beyond all thought and fantasy,
That God, the Son of God, should take
Our mortal form for mortal's sake!
2 He sent no angel to our race,
Of higher or of lower place,
But wore the robe of human frame,
And to this world Himself he came.
3 For us baptized, for us he bore
His holy fast and hungered sore;
For us temptation sharp he knew,
For us the tempter overthrew.
4 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. Topics: Lent/Palm Sunday Languages: English Tune Title: DEO GRACIAS
Oh, Love, How Deep
