My Song Is Love Unknown
Author: Samuel Crossman, c. 1624-1683 Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.4.4 Appears in 127 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 26 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 men made strange, and none
The longed-for Christ would know.
But, oh, 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 way
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 mad the lame to run,
He gave the blind their sight.
Sweet injuries! is all their breath,
Themselves displease and 'gainst him rise.
5 They rise, and needs will have
My dear Lord made away;
A murderer they saved,
The Prince of life they slay,
Yet cheerful He to suff'ring goes,
That He His foes from thence might free.

My Song Is Love Unknown
O Sacred Head, Surrounded
Author: Henry Williams Baker (1821-1877); Arnulf of Louvain (1200?-1250?); Paul Gerhardt (1607-1676); James Waddell Alexander (1804-1853) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 89 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 26:14-75; 27 Lyrics: 1 O sacred head surrounded
by crown of piercing thorn;
O royal head so wounded,
reviled, and put to scorn:
death's shadows rise before you,
the glow of life decays,
yet angel hosts adore you
and tremble as they gaze!
2 Your youthfulness and vigour
are spent, your strength is gone,
and in your tortured figure
I see death drawing on:
what agony of dying,
what love, to sinners free!
My Lord, all grace supplying,
O turn your face on me!
3 Your sinless soul's oppression
was all for sinners' gain;
mine, mine was the transgression,
but yours the deadly pain:
I bow my head, my Saviour,
for I deserve your place;
O grant to me your favour,
and heal me by your grace.
4 What language shall I borrow
to thank you, dearest Friend,
for this your dying sorrow,
your mercy without end?
Lord, make me yours for ever:
your servant let me be;
and may I never, never
betray your love for me. Topics: Holy Week (Good Friday) Used With Tune: PASSION CHORALE Text Sources: rev. Hymns for Today's Church, 1982

dearest Jesus, unto you.

for the sorrows deep and sore,
for the anguish in the garden,
we will thank you evermore.
For the victory of your dying—
sinful nature mortifying— [Refrain]

may what we thirst for soon our portion be,
to gaze on thee unveiled, and see thy face,
the vision of thy glory and thy grace.

On which our dearest Lord was slain;
Thus we our pious homage pay,
Till he appears on earth again.

The curtains of the parting sky;
On a bright cloud in triumph ride,
And on the wind's swift pinnions fly.
3 Come, King of Kings, with thy bright train,
Cherubs, and Seraphs, heav'nly hosts;
Assume thy right, enlarge thy reign
As far as earth extends her coasts.
4 Come, Lord, and where thy cross once stood,
There plant thy banner, fix thy throne;
Subdue the rebels by thy word,
And claim the nations for thy own. Topics: Hymns, adapted to the Celebration of the Lord's Supper

As We Gather at Your Table (Al reunirnos a tu mesa)
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr., b. 1944; Georgina Pando-Connolly, b. 1946 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 27 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 26:30 Lyrics: 1 As we gather at your table,
As we listen to your word,
Help us know, O God, your presence;
Let our hearts and minds be stirred.
Nourish us with sacred story
Till we claim it as our own;
Teach us through this holy banquet
How to make Love’s victory known.
2 Turn our worship into witness
In the sacrament of life;
Send us forth to love and serve you,
Bringing peace where there is strife.
Give us, Christ, your great compassion
To forgive as you forgave;
May we still behold your image
In the world you died to save.
3 Gracious Spirit, help us summon
Other guests to share that feast
Where triumphant Love will welcome
Those who had been last and least.
There no more will envy blind us
Nor will pride our peace destroy,
As we join with saints and angels
To repeat the sounding joy.

1 Al reunirnos a tu mesa,
tu palabra a escuchar,
que el sentir, Dios, tu presencia
nos ayude a cambiar.
Nutre al pueblo con tu historia,
haznos como tú, Señor.
Muéstranos en esta cena
la victoria de tu amor.
2 Cambia el culto en testimonio
siempre en nuestro caminar.
Danos ansias de servirte
y tu paz y amor sembrar.
Haznos compasivos, Cristo,
para siempre perdonar.
Que te honremos en el mundo
que viniste a salvar.
3 Ven, Expíritu, convida
a la fiesta, a compartir
con los pobres y perqueños,
que el Amor va a recibir.

el orgullo pasará.
Con los ángeles cantamos;
Dios por siempre reinará. Topics: Adoración; Adoration; Cena del Señor; Lord's Supper; Discipleship; Discipulado; Envio; Sending Forth; Ministerio; Ministry; Palabra de Dios; Word of God; Testimonio; Testimony Used With Tune: NETTLETON

for those he loved until the end:
and his disciples still gather there
to celebrate their Risen Friend.

to share his bread, his loving cup.
Whatever burdens may bow us down,
he by his Cross shall lift us up.
3 And after Supper he washed their feet,
for service, too, is sacrament.
In him our joy shall be made complete
sent out to serve, as he was sent.
4 No end there is! We depart in peace.
He loves beyond our uttermost:
in every room in our Father's house
he will be there, as Lord and host. Topics: Maundy Thursday Used With Tune: O WALY WALY
