O love, how deep, how broad, how high!
Author: Thomas à Kempis (c. 1379-1471); Benjamin Webb (1819-1885)' Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 139 hymnals 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 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.
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 To him whose boundless love has won
salvation for us through his Son,
to God the Father, glory be
both now and through eternity. Topics: Atonement; Church year Passiontide; Church Year Good Friday; Church Year Ascension; God Love of; Jesus baptism; Jesus temptations; Palm Sunday Year C; Passiontide Scripture: Matthew 4:1-11 Used With Tune: EISENACH

The God Whom Earth and Sea and Sky
Author: Venantius Fortunatus, c. 530-609; John M. Neale, 1818-1866 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 37 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The God whom earth and sea and sky
Adore and praise and magnify,
Whose might they claim, whose love they tell,
In Mary's body comes to dwell.
2 O Mother blest! the chosen shrine
Wherein the architect divine,
Whose hand contains the earth and sky,
Has come in human form to lie:
3 Blest in the message Gabriel brought;
Blest in the work the Spirit wrought;
Most blest, to bring to human birth
The long desired of all the earth.
4 O Lord the Virgin-born, to you
Eternal praise and lays are due,
Whom with the Father we adore
And Spirit blest for evermore. Topics: Mary Mother of God; Advent; Christmas Season; Mary, Mother of God; The Annunciation of the Lord (March 25); Incarnation Scripture: Malachi 3:1 Used With Tune: EISENACH

Come, Follow Me, the Savior Spake
Author: Charles W. Schaeffer, d. 1896; Johann Scheffler Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8 Appears in 26 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, follow Me, the Savior spake,
All in My way abiding;
Deny yourselves, the world forsake,
Obey My call and guiding.
Oh, bear the cross, whate'er betide,
Take My example for your guide.
2 I am the Light, I light the way,
A godly life displaying;
I bid you walk as in the day,
I keep your feet from straying.
I am the Way, and well I show
How you must sojourn here below.
3 My heart bounds in lowliness,
My soul with love is glowing,
And gracious words my lips express,
With meekness overflowing.
My heart, My mind, My strength, My all,
To God I yield, on Him I call.
4 I teach you how to shun and flee
What harms your soul's salvation,
Your heart from every guile to free,
From sin and its temptation.
I am the Refuge of the soul
And lead you to your heavenly goal.
5 Then let us follow Christ, our Lord,
And take the cross appointed
And, firmly clinging to His Word,
In suffering be undaunted.
For who bears not the battle's strain
The crown of life shall not obtain.
Amen. Topics: Sanctification (The Christian Life) New Obedience Scripture: Matthew 16:24 Used With Tune: MACH'S MIT MIR, GOTT
