Have you not seen, how all you needed has been met by God's gracious ordaining? 3 Praise to the Lord, who will prosper our work and defend us; surely his goodness and mercy shall daily attend us: ponder anew what the Almighty can do who out of love will befriend us. 4 Praise to the Lord! O let all that is in me adore him! All that has life and breath come now with praises before him! Let the Amen sound from God's people again: gladly with praise we adore him.

[Refrain] 3 God has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat; and is sifting out the hearts of all before the judgment seat; O be swift, my soul, to answer and be jubilant, my feet! Our God is marching on. [Refrain] 4 In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea, with a glory in whose bosom that transfigures you and me; As Christ died to make us holy, let us die to make all free; While God is marching on.

O Love, How Deep

Author: Benjamin Webb Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 143 hymnals Topics: Proper 28 Year B First Line: O Love, how deep, how broad, how high! Lyrics: 1 O Love, how deep, how broad, how high! It fills the heart with ecstasy, that God, in Jesus Christ, should take our mortal form for mortals' sake. 2 God sent no angel to our race of higher or of lower place, but wore the robe of human frame, and freely to this lost world came. 3 For us he was baptized, and bore a holy fast, and hungered sore; for us temptations sharply knew; for us the tempter overthrew. 4 For us he prayed; for us he taught; for us great daily works were wrought, by words, and signs, and actions, thus still seeking not himself, but us. 5 For us to wicked foes 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 God whose boundless love has won salvation for us through the Son, to God all praise and glory be both now and through eternity.

He commanded, it was done: heaven and earth and depths of ocean in their threefold order one; all that grows beneath the shining of the moon and burning sun, evermore and evermore. 3 O that birth for ever blessèd! When the Virgin, full of grace, by the Holy Ghost conceiving, bare the Saviour of our race, and the babe, the world's redeemer, first revealed his sacred face, evermore and evermore. 4 This is he whom seers in old time chanted of with one accord, whom the voices of the prophets promised in their faithful word; now he shines, the long-expected; let creation praise its Lord, evermore and evermore. 5 O ye heights of heaven, adore him; angel hosts, his praises sing; powers, dominions, bow before him, and extol our God and King; let no tongue on earth be silent, every voice in concert ring, evermore and evermore. 6 Christ, to thee with God most blessèd, and, O Holy Ghost, to thee, hymn and chant and high thanksgiving, and unwearied praises be, honour, glory, and dominion and eternal victory, evermore and evermore.
