O love, how deep, how broad, how high

Author: Benjamin Webb, 1819-1885 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 139 hymnals 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 temptations sharp he knew; for us the tempter overthrew. 3 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. 4 For us to wicked hands betrayed, scourged, mocked, in purple robe arrayed, he bore the shameful cross and death; for us gave up his dying breath. 5 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. 6 All glory to our Lord and God for love so deep, so high, so broad; the Trinity whom we adore for ever and for evermore.
