My Song Is Love Unknown
Author: Samuel Crossman Hymnal: Voices United #143 (1996) Meter: 6.6.12.4.4.8 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.

My Song Is Love Unknown
Author: Samuel Crossman Hymnal: Voices Together #320 (2020) Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.8 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. Topics: Housing; Incarnation; Jesus Christ Life of; Jesus Christ Love of; Journey to the Cross; Lent Scripture: Matthew 21:1-11 Tune Title: LOVE UNKNOWN

From thence might free.

What injuries, yet these are why,
what injuries, yet these are why
the Lord Most High so cruelly dies.

my dear Lord done away;
a murderer they save,

Yet willingly, he bears the shame,
yet willingly, he bears the shame,
that through his name all might be free.

of him my soul adores:
never was love, dear King,
never was grief like yours.
This is my friend in whose sweet praise,
this is my friend in whose sweet praise
I all my days would gladly spend.
