Author: Reginald Heber Meter: 11.12.12.10 Appears in 1,644 hymnals Topics: Epiphany 7 Year A First Line: Holy, holy, holy! Lord God almighty! Lyrics: 1 Holy, holy, holy! Lord God almighty!
Early in the morning our song shall rise to thee;
holy, holy, holy, merciful and mighty,
God in three persons, blessed Trinity!

casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea;
cherubim and seraphim falling down before thee,
which were, and art, and evermore shalt be.

though the eye made blind by sin thy glory may not see,
only thou art holy; there is none beside thee,
perfect in power, in love, and purity.

Oh, Love, How Deep
Author: Benjamin Webb, 1820-1885; Thomas á Kempis, 1380-1471 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 139 hymnals Topics: Epiphany 7 First Line: Oh, love, how deep, how broad, how high Lyrics: 1 Oh, love, how deep, how broad, how high,
Beyond all thought and fantasy,
That God, the Son of God, should take
Our mortal form for mortal's sake!
2 He sent no angel to our race,
Of higher or of lower place,
But wore the robe of human frame,
And to this world himself he came.
3 For us baptized, for us he bore
His holy fast and hungered sore;
For us temptation sharp He knew;
For us the tempter overthrew.
4 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.
5 For us by wickedness betrayed,
For us, in crown of thorns arrayed,
He bore the shameful cross and death;
For us he gave his dying 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 All glory to our Lord and God
For love so deep, so high, so broad;
The Trinity whom we adore
Forever and forevermore. Used With Tune: DEO GRACIAS
Oh, Love, How Deep

the triumphs of God's grace.

that bids our sorrows cease;

'tis life and health and peace.

new life the dead receive,
the mournful broken hearts rejoice,
the humble poor believe.

your tongues again employ;
you blind, behold your Saviour comes,
and leap, you lame, for joy!

assist me to proclaim,
to spread through all the earth abroad
the honours of your name. Used With Tune: AZMON

at the impulse of thy love,
take my feet, and let them be
swift and purposeful for thee.
3 Take my lips, and let them be
filled with messages from thee;
take my intellect, and use
every power as thou shalt choose.
4 Take my will, and make it thine;
it shall be no longer mine;
take my heart, it is thine own;
it shall be thy royal throne.
5 Take my love: and I will pour
at thy feet its treasure store;
take myself, and I will be
ever, only, all for thee.

source of purest pleasure,
truest friend to me;
long my heart hath panted,
till it well-nigh fainted,
thirsting after thee.
Thine I am, O spotless Lamb,
I will suffer naught to hide thee,
ask for naught beside thee.
2 In thine arms I rest me;
foes who would molest me
cannot reach me here.
Though the earth be shaking,
every heart be quaking,
God dispels our fear;
sin and hell in conflict fell
with their heaviest storms assail us:
Jesus will not fail us.
3 Hence, all thoughts of sadness!
For the Lord of gladness,
Jesus, enters in:
those who love the Father,
though the storms may gather,
still have peace within;
yea, whate'er we here must bear,
still in thee lies purest pleasure,
Jesus, priceless treasure! Used With Tune: JESU, MEINE FREUDE

of rocks and trees, of skies and seas,
God's hand the wonders wrought.

the morning light, the lily white,
declare their Maker's praise.

God shines in all that's fair;
in the rustling grass or mountain pass,
God's voice speaks everywhere.

O let me ne'er forget
that though the wrong seems oft so strong,
God is the Ruler yet.
This is God's wondrous world:
why should my heart be sad?
Let voices sing, let the heavens ring:
God reigns, let earth be glad!

and grants his name to know.

their name an everlasting name,
their joy the joy of heaven.

they reign with him above,
their profit and their joy to know
the mystery of his love.
5 The cross he bore is life and health,
though shame and death to him,
his people's hope, his people's wealth,
their everlasting theme. Used With Tune: ST MAGNUS
