General Information

Title: O love, how deep
Composer: Charles H. Giffen
Lyricist: Benjamin Webb

Number of voices: 4vv Voicing: SATB

Genre: Sacred, Hymn Meter: 88. 88 (L.M.)

Language: English
Instruments: A cappella

First published:
Description: Three original settings, in mixed 2/2 & 3/2 time signatures, of the L.M. (long meter, 88.88) hymn tune Old hundredth to an old Latin text translated (1854) by Benjamin Webb.
Additional notes: These settings of Old hundredth were originally composed to accomodate the text of Lord, make us servants of your peace by James Quinn (b. 1919), which is a lovely adaptation of the Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi (1182-1226). As Quinn's text is only five stanzas in length, the Doxology was appended so that each of the three settings is used twice. Quinn's text is traditionally sung to the tune Dickinson College by Lee Hastings Bristol, Jr. (1923-1979). Both Quinn's text and Dickinson College are under copyright.

-{{Text|English}}
-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!<br>
-<br>
-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.<br>
-<br>
-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.<br>
-<br>
-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.<br>
-<br>
-For us to wicked men betrayed,<br>
-Scourged, mocked, in purple robe arrayed,<br>
-He bore the shameful cross and death,<br>
-For us gave up His dying breath.<br>
-<br>
-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.<br>
-<br>
-To Him Whose boundless love has won<br>
-Salvation for us through His Son,<br>
-To God the Father, glory be<br>
-Both now and through eternity.<br>
