O Love, How Deep, How Broad, How High

Author: Benjamin Webb Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 139 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 3:18 Lyrics: 1 O love, how deep, how broad, how high, beyond all 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 temptation 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 evil power 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 forever and forevermore.

When thro' his Eyes the Godhead shone! 6 Arch-Angels leave their high Abode, To learn new Myst'ries here, and tell The Love of our descending God, The Glories of EMANUEL.

O morning stars, together Proclaim the holy birth, And praises sing to God the king And peace to all the earth! 3 How silently, how silently The wondrous gift is giv'n! So God imparts to human hearts The blessings of His heav'n. No ear may hear His coming; But in this world of sin, Where meek souls will receive Him, still The dear Christ enters in. 4 O holy Child of Bethlehem, Descend to us, we pray; Cast out our sin, and enter in, Be born in us today. We hear the Christmas angels The great glad tidings tell; O come to us, abide with us, Our Lord Immanuel! Used With Tune: ST. LOUIS

I see the cross– there teach my heart to cling. O let me seek you and O let me find! 4 Teach me to feel that you are always nigh; teach me the struggles of the soul to bear, to check the rising doubt, the rebel sigh; teach me the patience of unceasing prayer. 5 Teach me to love you as your angels love, one holy passion filling all my frame: the fullness of the heaven-descended Dove; my heart an altar, and your love the flame.

Make Me a Captive, Lord

Author: George Matheson Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 119 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 3:1 Lyrics: 1. Make me a captive, Lord, and then I shall be free. Force me to render up my sword, and I shall conqueror be. I sink in life's alarms when by myself I stand; imprison me within thine arms, and strong shall be my hand. 2. My heart is weak and poor until it master find; it has no spring of action sure, it varies with the wind. It cannot freely move till thou hast wrought its chain; enslave it with thy matchless love, and deathless it shall reign. 3. My power is faint and low till I have learned to serve; it lacks the needed fire to glow, it lacks the breeze to nerve. It cannot drive the world until itself be driven; its flag can only be unfurled when thou shalt breathe from heaven. 4. My will is not my own till thou hast made it thine; if it would reach a monarch's throne, it must its crown resign. It only stands unbent amid the clashing strife, when on thy bosom it has leant, and found in thee its life.

O wide-embracing, wondrous love! We read you in the sky above, we read you in the earth below, in seas that swell, and streams that flow. 3 We read you best in him who came to bear for us the cross of shame; sent by the Father from on high, our life to live, our death to die. We read your pow'r to bless and save, e'en in the darkness of the grave; still more in resurrection light we read the fulness of your might. 4 O love of God, our shield and stay through all the perils of our way!
