O love, how deep, how broad, how high
Author: Thomas à Kempis (?), d. 1471; Benjamin Webb Appears in 143 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O love, how deep, how broad, how high,
O great, O wondrous mystery,
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 He Himself to this world came
And wore the robe of human frame.
3 For us baptized! then Spirit-led
He fasted,--Who the thousands fed;
For us temptation sharp He knew,
For us the Tempter overthrew.
4 For us He prayed, for us He taught,
For us His every work He wrought,
By words, and signs, and actions, thus
Still seeking not Himself, but us.
5 For us by 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.
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.

When Darkness Long Has Veiled My Mind
Author: William Cowper Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 125 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When darkness long has veiled my mind,
And smiling day once more appears;
Then, my Redeemer, then I find
The folly of my doubts and fears.
2 Strait I upbraid my wandering heart,
And blush that I should ever be
Thus prone to act so base a part,
Or harbor one hard thought of Thee!
3 Oh! let me then at length be taught
What I am still so slow to learn;
That God is love, and changes not,
Nor knows the shadow of a turn.
4 Sweet truth, and easy to repeat!
But when my faith is sharply tried
I find myself a learner yet,
Unskillful, weak, and apt to slide.
5 But, O my Lord, one look from Thee
Subdues the disobedient will;
Drives doubt and discontent away,
And Thy rebellious worm is still.
6 Thou art as ready to forgive,
As I am ready to repine;
Thou, therefore all the praise receive,
Be shame and self-abhorrence mine. Used With Tune: RIVAULX Text Sources: Olney Hymns (London, W. Oliver, 1779), Book 3
