My Song Is Love Unknown

Author: Samuel Crossman Meter: 6.6.12.4.4.8 Appears in 129 hymnals Topics: Easter 3 Year B; Easter 3 Year C 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. Used With Tune: LOVE UNKNOWN

You choirs of new Jerusalem

Author: Fulbert of Chartres (c.975-1028); R. Campbell (1814-1868) Appears in 66 hymnals Topics: Easter 3 The Resurrection and the Life Lyrics: 1 You choirs of new Jerusalem, your sweetest notes employ the paschal victory to hymn in songs of holy joy! 2 For Judah's Lion burst his chains, and crushed the serpent's head; he cries aloud through death's domains to wake the imprisoned dead. 3 Devouring depths of hell their prey at his command restore; his ransomed hosts pursue their way where Jesus goes before. 4 Triumphant in his glory now — to him all power is given; to him in one communion bow all saints in earth and heaven. 5 All glory to the Father be, the Spirit and the Son: all glory to the One-in-Three while endless ages run.

Glorious things of thee are spoken

Author: John Newton, 1725-1807 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,310 hymnals Topics: Year C Easter 3 Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of thee are spoken, Zion, city of our God; he whose word cannot be broken formed thee for his own abode. On the Rock of Ages founded, what can shake thy sure repose? With salvation's walls surrounded, thou may'st smile at all thy foes. 2 See, the streams of living waters, springing from eternal love, well supply thy sons and daughters, and all fear of want remove. Who can faint while such a river ever flows their thirst to assuage? Grace which, like the Lord, the giver, never fails from age to age. 3 Round each habitation hov'ering, see the cloud and fire appear for a glory and a cov'ring, showing that the Lord is near. Thus they march, the pillar leading, light by night and shade by day; daily on the manna feeding which he gives them when they pray. 4 Saviour, if of Zion's city I through grace a member am, let the world deride or pity, I will glory in thy name. Fading is the worldling's pleasure, boasted pomp and empty show; solid joys and lasting treasure, none but Zion's children know. Scripture: Isaiah 33:20-21 Used With Tune: ABBOT'S LEIGH

The Church's One Foundation

Author: Samuel John Stone Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 883 hymnals Topics: Easter 3 Year A Lyrics: 1 The Church's one foundation is Jesus Christ her Lord; she is his new creation by water and the word: from heaven he came and sought her to be his holy bride; with his own blood he bought her, and for her life he died. 2 Elect from every nation, yet one o'er all the earth, her charter of salvation, one Lord, one faith, one birth; one holy name she blesses, partakes one holy food, and to one hope she presses, with every grace endued. 3 'Mid toil and tribulation, and tumult of her war she waits the consummation of peace for evermore; till with the vision glorious her longing eyes are blessed, and the great Church victorious shall be the Church at rest. 4 Yet she on earth hath union with God, the Three in one, and mystic sweet communion with those whose rest is won. O happy ones and holy! Lord, give us grace that we like them, the meek and lowly, on high may dwell with thee. Used With Tune: AURELIA
