O Love, How Deep, How Broad

Author: Benjamin Webb, 1819-1885 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 139 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 4:1-17 First Line: O love, how deep, how broad, how high 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 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 comfort, 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.

By All Your Saints Still Striving

Author: Horatio Bolton Nelson Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 96 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 4:18-22 Lyrics: 1 By all your saints still striving, for all your saints at rest, your holy name, O Jesus, forevermore be blessed! For those passed on before us, we sing our praise anew and, walking in their footsteps, would live our lives for you. 2 We praise you for the Baptist, forerunner of the Word, our true Elijah, making a highway for the Lord. The last and greatest prophet, he saw the dawning ray of light that grows in splendor until the perfect day. 3 All praise, O Lord, for Andrew, the first to welcome you, whose witness to his brother named you Messiah true. May we, with hearts kept open to you throughout the year proclaim to friend and neighbor your advent ever near. 4 For Magdalene we praise you, steadfast at cross and tomb. Your “Mary!” in the garden dispelled her tears and gloom. Apostle to the apostles, she ran to spread the word. Send us to shout the good news that we have seen the Lord! 5 We pray for saints we know not, for saints still yet to be, for grace to bear true witness and serve you faithfully, till all the ransomed number who stand before the throne ascribe all power and glory and praise to God alone.

Son of God, Eternal Savior

Author: Somerset C. Lowry Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 62 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 4:23 Lyrics: 1 Son of God, eternal Savior, Source of life and truth and grace, Son of Man, whose birth among us Hallows all our human race, Christ, the Lord, enthroned in glory, For Thine own dost ever plead, Fill us with Thy love and pity, Heal our wrongs, and help our need. 2 As Thou, Lord, hast lived for others, So may we for others live; Freely have Thy gifts been granted, Freely may Thy servants give. Thine the gold and Thine the silver, Thine the wealth of land and sea, We but stewards of Thy bounty, Held in solemn trust for Thee. 3 Come, O Christ, and reign among us, King of love and Prince of peace; Hush the storm of strife and passion, Bid its cruel discords cease; By Thy patient years of toiling, By Thy silent hours of pain, Quench our fevered thirst of pleasure, Stem our selfish greed of gain. 4 Son of God, eternal Savior, Source of life and truth and grace, Son of Man, whose birth among us Hallows all our human race, Thou who prayedst, Thou who willest That Thy people should be one, Grant, O grant our hope’s fruition; Here on earth Thy will be done. Amen. Used With Tune: IN BABILONE

He will make our pathway clear; we will follow Jesus. In our daily round of care, as we plead with God in prayer, with the cross which we must bear, we will follow Jesus. 4 Ever keep that end in view; we will follow Jesus. All his promises are true; we will follow Jesus. When this earthly course is run, and the Master says, "Well done!" life eternal we have won; we will follow Jesus.

Day by Day

Author: Andrew L. Skoog, 1856-1934; Carolina Sandell Berg, 1832-1903 Meter: 10.9.10.9 D Appears in 49 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 4:18-22 First Line: Day by day and with each passing moment Lyrics: 1 Day by day and with each passing moment, strength I find to meet my trials here; trusting in my Father’s wise bestowment, I’ve no cause for worry or for fear. He whose heart is kind beyond all measure gives unto each day what he deems best– lovingly, its part of pain and pleasure, mingling toil with peace and rest. 2 Every day the Lord himself is near me with a special mercy for each hour; all my cares he fain would bear, and cheer me, he whose name is Counselor and Power. The protection of his child and treasure is a charge that on himself he laid: “As your days, your strength shall be in measure,” this the pledge to me he made. 3 Help me then in every tribulation so to trust your promises, O Lord, that I lose not faith’s sweet consolation offered me within your holy Word. Help me, Lord, when toil and trouble meeting, e'er to take, as from a father’s hand, one by one, the days, the moments fleeting, till I reach the promised land.
