My Song Is Love Unknown

Author: Samuel Crossman Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.4.4 Appears in 129 hymnals Topics: Lament 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 heaven’s throne salvation to bestow; the world that was his own would not its Savior know. But O my Friend, my Friend indeed, who at my need his life did spend! 3 Sometimes we strew his way, and his sweet praises sing, resounding all the day hosannas to our King. Then "Crucify!" is all our breath, and for his death we thirst and cry. 4 Unheeding, we will have our dear Lord made away, a murderer to save, the prince of life to slay. Yet steadfast he to suffering goes, that he his foes from thence might free. 5 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. Scripture: Lamentations 1:12 Used With Tune: LOVE UNKNOWN

As pants the hart

Appears in 348 hymnals Topics: Lament First Line: As pants the hart for cooling streams Lyrics: 1 As pants the hart for cooling streams when heated in the chase, so longs my soul, O God, for thee and thy refreshing grace. 2 For thee, my God, the living God, my thirsty soul doth pine: oh when shall I behold thy face, thou majesty divine? 3 Why restless, why cast down, my soul? Trust God, who will employ sure aid for thee, and change these sighs to thankful hymns of joy. 4 God of my strength, how long shall I, like one forgotten, mourn, forlorn, forsaken and exposed to my oppressor's scorn? 5 Why restless, why cast down, my soul? Hope still, and thou shalt sing praise to thy God, the living God, thy health's eternal spring.
