O love, how deep, how broad, how high!
Author: Thomas à Kempis (c. 1379-1471); Benjamin Webb (1819-1885)' Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 143 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O love, how deep, how broad, how high!
It fills the heart with ecstasy,
that God, 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
himself, and to this lost world came.
3 For us he was baptized, and bore
his holy fast, and hungered sore;
for us temptations sharp he knew;
for us the tempter overthrew.
4 For us to wicked men betrayed,
scourged, mocked, in purple robe arrayed,
he bore the shameful cross and death;
for us at length gave up his 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 To him whose boundless love has won
salvation for us through his Son,
to God the Father, glory be
both now and through eternity. Topics: Atonement; Church year Passiontide; Church Year Good Friday; Church Year Ascension; God Love of; Jesus baptism; Jesus temptations; Palm Sunday Year C; Passiontide Scripture: Matthew 4:1-11 Used With Tune: EISENACH
O love, how deep, how broad, how high!
With broken heart and contrite sigh
Author: Cornelius Elven Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 219 hymnals Lyrics:
With broken heart and contrite sigh,
A trembling sinner, Lord, I cry:
Thy pardoning grace is rich and free:
O God, be merciful to me.
I smite upon my troubled breast,
With deep and conscious guilt oppressed;
Christ and his cross my only plea:
O God, be merciful to me.
Far off I stand with tearful eyes,
Nor dare uplift them to the skies;
But thou dost all my anguish see:
O God, be merciful to me.
Nor alms, nor deeds that I have done,
Can for a single sin atone;
To Calvary alone I flee:
O God, be merciful to me.
And when, redeemed from sin and hell,
With all the ransomed throng I dwell,
My raptured song shall ever be,
God has been merciful to me.
Amen.

Captain of Israel's Host
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 69 hymnals First Line: Captain of Israel's host, and guide Lyrics: 1. Captain of Israel’s host, and guide
Of all who seek the land above,
Beneath Thy shadow we abide,
The cloud of Thy protecting love;
Our strength, Thy grace; our rule, Thy Word;
Our end, the glory of the Lord.
2. By Thine unerring Spirit led,
We shall not in the desert stray;
The light of man’s direction need
Or miss our providential way;
As far from danger as from fear,
While love, almighty love, is near. Used With Tune: EISENACH Text Sources: Short Hymns, 1762

in living echoes of your tone;
as you have sought, so let me seek
your wandering children, lost, alone.
2 O lead me, Lord, that I may lead
the stumbling and the straying feet;
and feed me, Lord, that I may feed
your hungry ones with manna sweet.
3 O teach me, Lord, that I may teach
the precious truths which you impart;
and wing my words that they may reach
the hidden depths of many a heart.
4 O fill me with your fullness, Lord,
until my heart shall overflow
in kindling thought and glowing word,
your love to tell, your praise to show.
5 O use me Lord, use even me,
just as you will, and when, and where;
until at last your face I see,
your rest, your joy, your glory share. Topics: God's Church Mission and Ministry; Christ the Teacher; Pentecost 4 The Church's Mission to the Individual; Pentecost 5 The Church's Mission to All; Pentecost 12 The Witnessing Community Used With Tune: EISENACH
