to set thy people free.

the ransom has been paid;
and thou art on thy Father's throne,
in glorious robes arrayed.

our ever great reward!
Our only glory may it be

My Song Is Love Unknown
Author: Samuel Crossman Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8.8 Appears in 129 hymnals Topics: The Grace of Jesus Christ In Praise of Christ 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: 2 Corinthians 5:15-19 Used With Tune: RHOSYMEDRE

and in thy presence rest.

O joy of all the meek,
to those who fall, how kind thou art!
How good to those who seek!
3. But what to those who find? Ah, this
nor tongue nor pen can show;
the love of Jesus, what it is,
none but his loved ones know.
4. Jesus, our only joy be thou,
as thou our prize wilt be;
Jesus, be thou our glory now,
and through eternity.

holy wisdom, love most bright;

soar to uncreated light.
Word of God, our flesh that fashioned,
with the fire of life impassioned,
striving still to truth unknown,
soaring, dying round thy throne.

hark, what peaceful music rings;
where the flock, in thee confiding,
drink of joy from deathless springs.
Theirs is beauty's fairest pleasure;
theirs is wisdom's holiest treasure.
Thou dost ever lead thine own
in the love of joys unknown.
