##(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.
