O for a faith that will not shrink

Author: William Hiley Bathurst, 1796-1877 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 711 hymnals Topics: General Hymns Faith, Hope and Love Lyrics: 1 O for a faith that will not shrink, though pressed by many a foe; that will not tremble on the brink of poverty or woe; 2 that will not murmur nor complain beneath the chastening rod; but in the hour of grief or pain can lean upon its God; 3 a faith that shines more bright and clear when tempests rage without: that when in danger knows no fear, in darkness feels no doubt; 4 a faith that keeps the narrow way till life’s last hour is fled, and with a pure and heavenly ray lights up the dying bed. 5 Lord, give me such a faith as this, and then, what e’er may come, I taste e’en now the hallowed bliss of an eternal home.

O love, how deep! How broad! How high!

Author: Thomas à Kempis, c1390-1471; Benjamin Webb, 1819-1885 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 143 hymnals Topics: General Hymns Faith, Hope and Love 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 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. 5 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. 6 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. 7 To him whose boundless love has won salvation for us through his Son, to God the Father, glory be both now and through eternity.
