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 142 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.

From heav'n the Lord with searching eye

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 From heav'n the Lord with searching eye Looked down the sons of men to try, To see if any understood And sought for God, the only good. 2 From righteousness they all depart, Corrupt are all, and vile in heart; Yea, ev'ry man has evil done; Not one does good, not even one. 3 Has knowledge with the wicked failed, That they my people have assailed, That they delight in works of shame, And call not on Jehovah's Name? 4 Thy lowly servant they despise, Because he on the Lord relies; But they shall tremble yet in fear, For to the righteous God is near. 5 O that from Zion his abode Salvation were on us bestowed! When God his exiles shall restore, They shall in song his grace adore. Amen.

Come, Follow Me, the Savior Spake

Author: Charles W. Schaeffer, d. 1896; Johann Scheffler Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8 Appears in 27 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, follow Me, the Savior spake, All in My way abiding; Deny yourselves, the world forsake, Obey My call and guiding. Oh, bear the cross, whate'er betide, Take My example for your guide. 2 I am the Light, I light the way, A godly life displaying; I bid you walk as in the day, I keep your feet from straying. I am the Way, and well I show How you must sojourn here below. 3 My heart bounds in lowliness, My soul with love is glowing, And gracious words my lips express, With meekness overflowing. My heart, My mind, My strength, My all, To God I yield, on Him I call. 4 I teach you how to shun and flee What harms your soul's salvation, Your heart from every guile to free, From sin and its temptation. I am the Refuge of the soul And lead you to your heavenly goal. 5 Then let us follow Christ, our Lord, And take the cross appointed And, firmly clinging to His Word, In suffering be undaunted. For who bears not the battle's strain The crown of life shall not obtain. Amen. Topics: Sanctification (The Christian Life) New Obedience Scripture: Matthew 16:24 Used With Tune: MACH'S MIT MIR, GOTT
