O Love How Deep - Lyrics

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


He sent no angel to our race
of higher or of lower place
but wore the robe of human frame
and He Himself to this world came


For us baptized for us He bore
His holy fast and hungered sore
for us temptations sharp He knew
for us the tempter overthrew


For us to wicked men betrayed
scourged mocked in crown of thorns arrayed
He bore the shameful cross and death
for us at length gave up His breath


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


All glory to our Lord and God
for love so deep so high so broad
the Trinity whom we adore
forever and forevermore
