148 ~ O Love How Deep How Broad


1

O love, how deep, how broad, how high, Beyond all thought and fantasy, That God, the Son of God, should take Our mortal form for mortal's 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 over threw.

3

For us by wickedness betrayed, For us, in crown of thorns arrayed, He bore the shameful cross and death; For us He gave His dying breath.

4

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.

5

All glory to our Lord and God For love so deep, so high, so broad; The Trinity whom we adore Forever and forevermore.
