My Song Is Love Unknown

Author: Samuel Crossman Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.8 Appears in 129 hymnals Topics: Journey to the Cross Lyrics: 1 My song is love unknown, my Savior’s love for me: love to the loveless shown that they might lovely be. But who am I, that for my sake my Lord should take frail flesh and die? 2 He came from heaven’s throne salvation to bestow. But they refused, and none the longed-for Christ would know. 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. This is my friend in whose sweet praise I all my days could gladly spend. Scripture: Matthew 21:1-11 Used With Tune: LOVE UNKNOWN Text Sources: The Young Man’s Meditations, or Some Few Sacred Poems . . ., 1664; rev. Hymns for Today’s Church, alt.

Field and forest, vale and mountain, flowery meadow, flashing sea, chanting bird and flowing fountain, sound their praise eternally. 3 You are giving and forgiving, ever blessing, ever blest, wellspring of the joy of living, ocean depth of happy rest! Source of grace and fount of blessing, let your light upon us shine; teach us how to love each other, lift us to the joy divine. 4 Mortals, join the mighty chorus which the morning stars began; God's own love is reigning o'er us, joining people hand in hand. Ever singing, march we onward, victors in the midst of strife; joyful music lifts us sunward in the triumph song of life. Used With Tune: HYMN TO JOY
