- 1O Love! how deep, how broad, how high!
- It fills the heart with ecstacy,
- That God, the Son of God, should take
- Our mortal form for mortals' sake.
- 2For us He was baptized, and bore
- His holy fast, and hungered sore;
- For us temptations sharp He knew;
- For us the tempter overthrew.
- 3For 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.
- 4For us to wicked men betrayed,
- Scourged, mocked, purple robe arrayed,
- He bore the shameful cross and death;
- For us at length gave up His breath.
- 5For 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.
- 6To Him whose boundless love has won
- Salvation for us through His Son,
- To God the Father, glory be,
- Both now and through eternity.
