O Love, How Deep, How Broad
O Love, How Deep
Author: T. á Kempis, 1380-1471; B. Webb, 1819-85 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary #281 (1996) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary First Line: O love, how deep, how high, how broad Lyrics: 1 O love, how deep, how broad, how high,
How passing thought the love of God,
That Christ, 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,
And to this world Himself He came.
3 For us baptized, for us He bore
His holy fast, and hungered sore;
For us temptations 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 to wicked men betrayed,
Scourged, mocked, in purple robe arrayed,
He bore the shameful cross and death,
For us gave up 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.

in Christ our Lord to this world came.

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 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.
