My Song Is Love Unknown
Author: Samuel Crossman, ca. 1624-1683 Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.4.4 Appears in 128 hymnals Scripture: John 4:8-11 Lyrics: 1 My song is love unknown,
My Savior’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 all 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 a way;
A murderer they save,
The Prince of Life they slay.
Yet steadfast he
To suff'ring 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?
Heav'n 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.

Thinking not 'tis thrown away;
God himself saith thou shalt gather
It again some future day.
2 Cast thy bread upon the waters;
Wildly though the billows roll,
They but aid thee as thou toilest

To some distant island lone,
So to human souls benighted,
That thou flingest may be borne.
4 Cast thy bread upon the waters;
Why wilt thou still doubting stand?
Bounteous shall God send the harvest,
If thou sow'st with liberal hand. Topics: Activity; Christians Duties; Church Work of; Communion of Saints At Lord's Table Used With Tune: SOLNEY

Sing to the Lord of Harvest
Author: John Samuel Bewley Monsell, 1811-1875 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 121 hymnals Scripture: John 4:35 Lyrics: 1 Sing to the Lord of harvest,
sing songs of love and praise;
with joyful hearts and voices
your alleluias raise.
By him the rolling seasons
in fruitful order move;
sing to the Lord of harvest
a joyous song of love.
2 God makes the clouds rain goodness,
the deserts bloom and spring,
the hills leap up in gladness,
the valleys laugh and sing.
God fills them with his fullness,
all things with large increase;
he crowns the year with blessing,
with plenty and with peace.
3 Bring to this sacred altar
the gifts his goodness gave,
the golden sheaves of harvest,
the souls Christ died to save.
Your hearts lay down before him
when at his feet you fall,
and with your lives adore him
who gave his life for all.

Receive the holy blood for you outpoured,

Who by his cross and blood the vict'ry won,
Gave his own life for greatest and for least:
Himself the Victim and himself the Priest.

And gain the safeguard of salvation here.
God, who all faithful servants rules and shields,
To all believers life eternal yields.

Gives living waters to the thirsting soul.
The one eternal God, to whom shall bow
All on the last day; he is with us now. Topics: Service Music for Mass Communion Song; The Liturgical Year The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ (Corpus Christi) Used With Tune: ANIMA CHRISTI Text Sources: Antiphonary of Bennchar, 7th cent.
