O Love, How Deep, How Broad

Author: Benjamin Webb Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 143 hymnals 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.

Author: Henry F. Lyte Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 1,722 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Abide with me, fast falls the eventide; the darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide! When other helpers fail, and comforts flee, help of the helpless, O abide with me. 2 Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day; earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away; change and decay in all around I see: O thou who changest not, abide with me. 3 I need thy presence every passing hour; what but thy grace can foil the tempter's power? Who, like thyself, my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me. 4 I fear no foe, with thee at hand to bless; ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness. Where is death's sting? Where, grave, thy victory? I triumph still, if thou abide with me. 5 Hold thou thy cross before my closing eyes; shine through the gloom and point me to the skies: heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee; in life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.
