O for a thousand tongues to sing

My Song Is Love Unknown

Author: Samuel Crossman Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.4.4 Appears in 128 hymnals Scripture: Luke 7:22 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 his blest throne all made strange, and none the longed-for Christ would know. But, O, my Friend, my fFiend indeed, who at my need his life did spend! 3 Sometimes they strew his way, and his strong praises sing, resounding all the way Hosannas to their King. Then “Crucify!” is all their breath, and for his death they thirst and cry. 4 Why, what hath my Lord done? What makes this rage and spite? He made the lame to run, he gave the blind their sight. Sweet injuries! Ye they at these themselves displease, and 'gainst him rise. 5 They rise, and needs will have my dear Lord made away; a murderer they save, the Prince of life they slay. Yet cheerful he to suff'ring goes, that he his foes from thence might free. 6 In life, no house, no home my Lord on earth might have; in death, no friendly tomb but what a stranger gave. What may I say? Heaven was his home, but mine the tomb wherein he lay. 7 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. Topics: Jesus Christ Passion and Cross Used With Tune: LOVE UNKNOWN

Hide me, O my Savior, hide, till the storm of life is past. Safe into the haven guide. O receive my soul at last! 2 Other refuge have I none; hangs my helpless soul on thee. Leave, ah! leave me not alone; still support and comfort me. All my trust on thee is stayed; all my help from thee I bring. Cover my defenseless head with the shadow of thy wing. 3 Thou, O Christ, art all I want; more than all in thee I find. Raise the fallen, cheer the faint, heal the sick, and lead the blind. Just and holy is thy name; I am all unrighteousness. False and full of sin I am; thou art full of truth and grace. 4 Plenteous grace with thee is found, grace to cover all my sin. Let the healing streams abound; make and keep me pure within. Thou of life the fountain art; freely let me take of thee. Spring thou up within my heart. Rise to all eternity.
