O Love, How Deep, How Broad, How High
Author: Thomas à Kempis; Benjamin Webb; J. M. Neale 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 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 pow'r 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.

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

"Take Up Your Cross," the Savior Said
Author: Charles W. Everest Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 297 hymnals Lyrics: 1 "Take up your cross," the Savior said,
"if you would my disciple be;
Take up your cross with willing heart
and humbly follow after me."
2 Take up your cross; let not its weight
fill your weak spirit with alarm;
Christ's strength will bear your spirit up
and brace your heart, support your arm.
3 Take up your cross, heed not the shame,
and let your foolish pride be still;
For Christ did not refuse to die
upon a cross on Calvary's hill.
4 Take up your cross and follow Christ,
nor think till death to lay it down,
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

Lord, What a Thoughtless Wretch Was I
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 126 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Lord, what a thoughtless wretch was I,
To mourn, and murmur, and repine,
To see the wicked placed on high,
In pride and robes of honor shine.
2. But O their end, their dreadful end!
Thy sanctuary taught me so;
On slippery rocks I see them stand,
And fiery billows roll below.
3. Now let them boast how tall they rise,
I’ll never envy them again;
There they may stand with haughty eyes,
Till they plunge deep in endless pain.
4. Their fancied joys, how fast they flee!
Just like a dream when man awakes;
Their songs of softest harmony
Are but a preface to their plagues.
5. Now I esteem their mirth and wine
Too dear to purchase with my blood;
Lord, ’tis enough that Thou art mine,
My life, my portion, and my God. Used With Tune: DEUS TUORUM MILITUM Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719
