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. Topics: Jesus Christ our Lord Used With Tune: DEUS TUORUM MILITUM Text Sources: Latin, 15th cent.

Now Let Us from This Table Rise
Author: Fred Kaan Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 42 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Now let us from this table rise
renewed in body, mind, and soul;
with Christ we die and live again,
his selfless love has made us whole.
2 With minds alert, upheld by grace
to spread the word in speech and deed,
we follow in the steps of Christ,
at one with all in hope and need.
3 To fill each human house with love,
it is the sacrament of care;
the work that Christ began to do
we humbly pledge ourselves to share.
4 Then grant us courage, Father God,
to choose again the pilgrim way,
and help us to accept with joy
the challenge of tomorrow's day.

and brace your heart, support your arm.

and let your foolish pride be still;

upon a cross on Calvary's hill.

For only those who bear the cross
may hope to wear the glorious crown. Topics: Cross of Believers; Discipleship; Lent; Year A Proper 17; Year B Lent 2; Year C Proper 18 Scripture: Mark 8:34 Used With Tune: DEUS TUORUM MILITUM

We sing the praise of him who died
Author: Thomas Kelly, 1769 - 1854 Appears in 192 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We sing the praise of him who died,
Of him who died upon the Cross;
The sinner's hope let men deride,
For this we count the world but loss.
2 Inscribed upon the Cross we see,
In shining letters, 'God is Love.'
He bears our sins upon the Tree;
He brings us mercy from above.
3 The Cross, it takes our guilt away;
It holds the fainting spirit up;
It cheers with hope the gloomy day,
And sweetens every bitter cup.
4 It makes the coward spirit brave,
And nerves the feeble arm for fight;
It takes its terror from the grave,
And gilds the bed of death with light;
5 The balm of life, the cure of woe,
The measure and the pledge of love,
The sinner's refuge here below,
The angels' theme in heaven above. Topics: The Church Year Lent; The Church Year Good Friday; The Life In Christ Contemplation Used With Tune: DEUS TUORUM MILITUM

Guard my first springs of thought and will,
and with thyself my spirit fill.

All I design, or do, or say,
That all my pow3rs, with all their might
In thy sole glory may unite.

Praise him above, ye heavenly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

The Lamb's high banquet called to share
Author: Anonymous; John Mason Neale, 1818-1866 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 24 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The Lamb's high banquet called to share,
arrayed in garments white and fair,
the Red Sea past, we fain would sing
to Jesus our triumphant King.
2 Upon the altar of the cross,
his body hath redeemed our loss;
and, tasting of his precious blood,
our life is hid with him in God.
3 Protected in the Paschal night
from the destroying angel's might,
in triumph went the ransomed free
from Pharaoh's cruel tyranny.
4 Now Christ our Passover is slain,
the Lamb of God without a stain;
his flesh, the true unleavened bread,
is freely offered in our stead.
5 O all-sufficient Sacrifice,
beneath thee hell defeated lies;
thy captive people are set free,
and crowns of life restored by thee.
6 We hymn thee rising from the grave,
from death returning, strong to save;
thine own right hand the tyrant chains,
and paradise for man regains.
7 All praise be thine, O risen Lord,
from death to endless life restored;
all praise to God the Father be
and Holy Ghost eternally. Topics: Hymns for the Church Year Easter Used With Tune: GRENOBLE (DEUS TUORUM MILITUM) Text Sources: 6th century, Latin; Other translators: Editors of Hymns Ancient and Modern

Go Labor On
Author: Horatius Bonar, 1808-89 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 441 hymnals First Line: Go labor on. spend and be spent Lyrics: 1 Go labor on; spend and be spent --
'Tis joy to do the Father's will.
It is the way the Master went;
Should not the servant tread it still?
2 Go labor on; count not the cost --
Your earthly loss is heav'nly gain.
The world indeed will praise you not,
But you will share in heaven's reign.
3 Go labor on while it is day;
The world's dark night is hast'ning on.
Speed, speed your work, do not delay,
For it is thus that souls are won.
4 They die in darkness at your side
Without a hope to cheer the tomb;
Take up the torch and wave it wide,
The torch that lights the thickest gloom.
5 Toil on, faint not, keep watch, and pray;
Be wise the erring soul to win.
Go forth into the world's wide way;
Compel the wand'rer to come in.
6 Toil on and in your toil rejoice;
For toil comes rest, for exile home.
Soon shall you hear the Bridegroom's voice,
The midnight cry, "Behold, I come!" Topics: Evangelism; Evangelism Used With Tune: DEUS TUORUM MILITUM

Unless the LORD Builds Up the House
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 22 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Unless the Lord builds up the house,
the weary builders toil in vain;
unless he keeps the city safe,
the guards a useless watch maintain.
2 In vain you rise before the dawn,
and late your nightly vigils keep;
while you eat bread of anxious toil,
God gives to his beloved sleep.
3 Lo, children are a heritage,
a gift from God in very truth.
Like arrows in a warrior's hand
are all the children of one's youth.
4 The man whose quiver's full of them
is blessed by God; his name is great.
He shall not fear his enemies
when he speaks with them in the gate.

And ancient forms of party strife;

Ring out the darkness of the land;
Ring in the Christ that is to be.
