My Song Is Love Unknown

Author: Samuel Crossman Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8.8 Appears in 129 hymnals Topics: Year B Lent 5 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 God should take frail flesh and die? My God should take frail flesh and die? 2 God left the richest throne salvation to bestow; But Christ as flesh and bone the world refused to know. But, O my Friend, my Friend indeed, who at my need did life expend; who at my need did life expend. 3 Sometimes they threw down palms and sweetest praises sang. Hosannas and glad psalms through streets and markets rang. Then "Crucify!" is all their breath, for blood and death they thirst and cry; for blood and death they thirst and cry. 4 What has my Sovereign done? What makes this rage and spite? Christ gave new strength to run, restored the gift of sight. Sweet injuries! Yet they at these themselves displease, and 'gainst Christ rise; themselves displease, and 'gainst Christ rise. 5 I sing my plain belief, one song my heart out-pours: 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; I all my days could gladly spend. Scripture: Hebrews 5:7-10 Used With Tune: RHOSYMEDRE

Faber, 1814-1863 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 923 hymnals Topics: Third Sunday Before Lent Year B; Lent II Year C; Proper 5 Year B; Proper 8 Year B; Proper 26 Year B Lyrics: 1 There's a wideness in God's mercy like the wideness of the sea; there's a kindness in his justice which is more than liberty. 2 There is no place where earth's sorrows are more felt than up in heaven; there is no place where earth's failings have such kindly judgement given. 3 For the love of God is broader than the measure of man's mind; and the heart of the Eternal is most wonderfully kind. 4 But we make his love too narrow by false limits of our own; and we magnify his strictness with a zeal he will not own. 5 There is plentiful redemption in the blood that has been shed; there is joy for all the members in the sorrows of the Head. 6 There is grace enough for thousands of new worlds as great as this; there is room for fresh creations in that upper home of bliss. 7 If our love were but more simple, we should take him at his word; and our lives would be all gladness in the joy of Christ our Lord. Scripture: Ephesians 1:7 Used With Tune: CROSS OF JESUS
