How Can We Name a Love

Author: Brian Wren Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Jesus Christ Love of Lyrics: 1 How can we name a Love that wakens heart and mind, indwelling all we know or think or do or seek or find? Within our daily world, in every human face, Love's echoes sound and God is found, hid in the commonplace. 2 If we awoke to life built on a rock of care that asked no great reward but firm, assured, was simply there, we can, with parents' names, describe, and thus adore, Love unconfined, a father kind, a mother strong and sure. 3 When people share a task, and strength and skills unite in projects old or new, to make or do with shared delight, our Friend and Partner's will is better understood, that all should share, create, and care, and know that life is good. 4 So in a hundred names, each day we all can meet a presence, sensed and shown at work, at home, or in the street. Yet every name we see, shines in a brighter sun: In Christ alone is Love full grown and life and hope begun. Used With Tune: TERRA BEATA

Author: Elizabeth Cecilia Clephane Meter: 7.6.8.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 544 hymnals Topics: Jesus Christ Love of Lyrics: 1 Beneath the cross of Jesus I fain would take my stand: the shadow of a mighty rock within a weary land, a home within the wilderness, a rest upon the way, from the burning of the noontide heat and the burden of the day. 2 Upon the cross of Jesus my eyes at times can see the very dying form of one who suffered there for me; and from my smitten heart with tears two wonders I confess, the wonder of his glorious love, and my unworthiness. 3 I take, O cross, your shadow for my abiding place; I ask no other sunshine than the sunshine of his face; content to let the world go by, to know no gain nor loss, my sinful self my only shame, my glory all, the cross.

Author: Samuel Crossman Meter: 6.6.12.4.4.8 Appears in 129 hymnals Topics: Jesus Christ Love of 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. Used With Tune: LOVE UNKNOWN
