My song is love unknown

Author: Samuel Crossman (c. 1624-1683) Meter: 6.6.12.8.8 Appears in 127 hymnals Scripture: Lamentations 1:12 Lyrics: 1 My song is love unknown, my Savior’s love to me, love to the loveless shown, that they might lovely be. Oh, who am I, that for my sake my Lord should take frail flesh, and die? 2 He came from his blest throne, salvation to bestow: but people scorned, and none the longed-for Christ would know. But O my Friend, my Friend indeed, who at my need his life did spend! 3 Sometimes they strew his way, and his strong praises sing; resounding all the day hosannas to their King. Then 'Crucify!' is all their breath, and for his death they thirst and cry. 4 Why, what hath my Lord done? What makes this rage and spite? He made the lame to run, he gave the blind their sight. Sweet injuries! Yet they at these themselves displease, and 'gainst him rise. 5 They rise, and needs will have my dear Lord made away; a murderer they save, the Prince of Life they slay. Yet cheerful he to suffering goes, that he his foes from thence might free. 6 In life, no house, no home my Lord on earth might have; in death, no friendly tomb but what a stranger gave. What may I say? Heaven was his home: but mine the tomb wherein he lay. 7 Here might I stay and sing: no story so divine; never was love, dear King, never was grief like thine! This is my Friend, in whose sweet praise I all my days could gladly spend. Topics: Life in Christ Christ Incarnate - Passion and Death; Christian Year Holy Week Used With Tune: LOVE UNKNOWN

Behold the Savior of mankind

Author: S. Wesley, Sr. Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 387 hymnals Scripture: Lamentations 1:12 Lyrics: 1 Behold the Saviour of mankind Nailed to the shameful tree! How vast the love that him inclined To bleed and die for me. 2 Hark! how he groans, while nature shakes, And earth's strong pillars bend! The temple's veil asunder breaks, The solid marbles rend. 3 'Tis finished! now the ransom's paid; Receive my soul! he cries: See, how he bows his sacred head! He bows his head, and dies! 4 But soon he'll break death's iron chain, And in full glory shine; O Lamb of God! was ever pain, Was ever love like thine?

Ye that pass by, behold the Man

Author: C. Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 104 hymnals Scripture: Lamentations 1:12 Lyrics: 1 Ye that pass by, behold the Man-- The Man of griefs--condemned for you; The Lamb of God, for sinners slain, Weeping to Calvary pursue. 2 To us our own Barabbas give,-- Away with him, they loudly cry; Away with him, not fit to live,-- The vile seducer crucify! 3 His sacred limbs they stretch, they tear; With nails they fasten to the wood; His sacred limbs, exposed and bare, Or only covered with his blood. 4 Behold his temples crowned with thorn; His bleeding hands extended wide; His streaming feet transfixed and torn; The fountain gushing from his side! 5 O thou dear suff'ring Son of God, How doth thy heart to sinners move! Sprinkle on us thy precious blood, And melt us with thy dying love Topics: Christ Sufferings and Death; The Cleansing Fountain
