<p>O love, how deep, how broad, how high,<br>
|
|
It fills the heart with ecstasy,<br>
|
|
That God, the Son of God, should take<br>
|
|
Our mortal form for mortals’ sake!</p>
|
|
<p>He sent no angel to our race<br>
|
|
Of higher or of lower place,<br>
|
|
But wore the robe of human frame<br>
|
|
Himself, and to this lost world came.</p>
|
|
<p>For us baptized, for us He bore<br>
|
|
His holy fast and hungered sore,<br>
|
|
For us temptation sharp He knew;<br>
|
|
For us the tempter overthrew.</p>
|
|
<p>For us He prayed; for us He taught;<br>
|
|
For us His daily works He wrought;<br>
|
|
By words and signs and actions thus<br>
|
|
Still seeking not Himself, but us.</p>
|
|
<p>For us to evil power betrayed,<br>
|
|
Scourged, mocked, in purple robe arrayed,<br>
|
|
He bore the shameful cross and death,<br>
|
|
For us gave up His dying breath.</p>
|
|
<p>For us He rose from death again;<br>
|
|
For us He went on high to reign;<br>
|
|
For us He sent His Spirit here,<br>
|
|
To guide, to strengthen, and to cheer.</p>
|
|
<p>All glory to our Lord and God<br>
|
|
For love so deep, so high, so broad:<br>
|
|
The Trinity Whom we adore,<br>
|
|
Forever and forevermore.</p>
