O Love, how deep, how broad, how high!
Author: Benjamin Webb (1820-1885) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 143 hymnals Topics: Christ Son of Man 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 temptation 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.
Amen. Used With Tune: DEO GRACIAS Text Sources: 15th century

Christ for the world we sing!
Author: Rev. S. Wolcott Meter: 6.6.4.6.6.6.4 Appears in 415 hymnals Topics: Love to Man Lyrics: 1 Christ for the world we sing!
The world to Christ we bring,
With loving zeal;
The poor, and them that mourn,
The faint and overborne,
Sin-sick and sorrow-worn,
Whom Christ doth heal.
2 Christ for the world we sing!
The world to Christ we bring,
With fervent prayer;
The wayward and the lost,
By restless passions tossed,
Redeemed at countless cost,
From dark despair.
3 Christ for the world we sing!
The world to Christ we bring,
With one accord;
With us the work to share,
With us reproach to dare,
With us the cross to bear,
For Christ our Lord.
4 Christ for the world we sing!
The world to Christ we bring,
With joyful song;
The new-born souls, whose days,
Reclaimed from error's ways,
Inspired with hope and praise,
To Christ belong.
Amen. Used With Tune: [Christ for the world we sing]

Lo, How a Rose E'er Blooming
Author: Theodore Baker; Harriett R. Spaeth; John C. Mattes Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.7.6 Appears in 108 hymnals Topics: Christ Man of Sorrows Lyrics: 1 Lo, how a rose e'er blooming
from tender stem hath sprung,
of Jesse's lineage coming,
as men of old have sung.
It came, a flow'ret bright,
amid the cold of winter,
when half-spent was the night.
2 Isaiah 'twas foretold it,
the rose I have in mind;
with Mary we behold it,
the virgin mother kind.
To show God's love aright,
she bore to men a Savior,
when half-spent was the night.
3 The shepherds heard the story,
proclaimed by angels bright,
how Christ, the Lord of glory,
was born on earth this night.
To Bethlehem they sped
and in the manger found him,
as angel heralds said.
4 This flow'r, whose fragrance tender
with sweetness fills the air,
dispels with glorious splendor
the darkness ev'rywhere.
True man, yet very God;
from sin and death he saves us
and lightens ev'ry load.
5 O Savior, child of Mary,
who felt our human woe;
O Savior, King of glory,
who dost our weakness know,
bring us at length, we pray,
to the bright courts of heaven
and to the endless day. Scripture: Isaiah 11:1 Used With Tune: ES IST EIN' ROS' ENTSPRUNGEN Text Sources: German hymn, ca. 1500

I Sought the Lord, and Afterward I Knew
Author: Anonymous Meter: 10.10.10.6 Appears in 90 hymnals Topics: Seeking (God after Man) Lyrics: 1 I sought the Lord, and afterward I knew
He moved my soul to seek Him, seeking me;
It was not I that found, O Savior true;
No, I was found of Thee.
2 Thou didst reach forth Thy hand and mine enfold;
I walked and sank not on the storm-vexed sea;
’Twas not so much that I on Thee took hold,
As Thou, dear Lord, on me.
3 I find, I walk, I love; but O the whole
Of love is but my answer, Lord, to Thee!
For Thou wert long beforehand with my soul;
Always Thou lovedst me.

Oh, mean may seem this house of clay
Author: Thomas H. Gill Appears in 62 hymnals Topics: Christ Son of Man Lyrics: 1 Oh, mean may seem this house of clay--
Yet 'twas the Lord's abode;
Our feet may mourn this thorny way,
Yet here Emmanuel trod.
2 This fleshly robe the Lord did wear,
This watch the Lord did keep,
These burdens sore the Lord did bear,
These tears the Lord did weep.
3 This world the Master overcame,
This death the Lord did die;
O vanquished world! O glorious shame!
O hallowed agony!
4 O vale of tears, no longer sad,
Wherein the Lord did dwell!
O holy robe of flesh, that clad
Our own Immanuel!
5 Our very frailty brings us near
Unto the Lord of heaven;
To every grief, to every tear,
Such glory strange is given.
Amen.

Like tender grass that soon will disappear;

Still shown to those who look to Him in fear. [Refrain]

His kingdom rules o'er all from pole to pole;

Bless His most holy Name, O thou my soul. [Refrain] Scripture: Psalm 103 Used With Tune: TUNBRIDGE
