My Song Is Love Unknown

Author: Samuel Crossman Hymnal: Voices United #143 (1996) Meter: 6.6.12.4.4.8 Lyrics: 1 My song is love unknown, my Saviour’s love to me, love to the loveless shown that they might lovely be. O 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 sweet 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 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.

O 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 men made strange, 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 sweet 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 suff'ring goes, That He His foes from thence might free. 6 Here might I stay and sing, No story so divine: Never was love, dear King, Never was grief like Thine!

This is my friend, my friend indeed, who at my need his life did spend. 3 Sometimes they crowd his way and his sweet 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 With angry shouts they have my savior done away. A murderer they save, the Source of Life they slay! Yet willingly he bears the shame that through his name all might be free. 5 In life, no house, no home the Christ on earth might have. In death, no friendly tomb, but what a stranger gave. What may I say? Heav’n was his home, but mine the tomb wherein he lay. 6 Here might I sing belief in one my soul adores: never was pain nor grief, never was love like yours.
