Lyrics
Verse 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!
Verse 2
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.
Verse 3
Nor willed He only to appear; His pleasure was to tarry here;
And God and Man with man would be The space of thirty years and three.
Verse 4
For us baptized, for us He bore His holy fast and hungered sore,
For us temptations sharp He knew; for us the tempter overthrew.
Verse 5
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.
Verse 6
For us to wicked men betrayed, scourged, mocked, in crown of thorns arrayed,
For us He bore the cross's death, for us at length gave up His breath.
Verse 7
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.
Verse 8
All honor, laud, and glory be, O Jesus, virgin born to Thee!
All glory, as is ever meet to Father and to Paraclete....
