My song is love unknown
Author: Samuel Crossman, c.1624-1683 Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 128 hymnals Topics: Music / Singing / Song Lyrics: 1 My song is love unknown,
my Saviour’s love to me,
love to the loveless shown,
that they might lovely be.
Oh 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 we made strange,
and none the longed-for Christ would know.
But oh, 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. Scripture: Mark 11:1-11 Used With Tune: LOVE UNKNOWN

God of glory, Lord of love;
hearts unfold like flowers before thee,
opening to the sun above.
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness,
drive the gloom of doubt away;
giver of immortal gladness,
fill us with the light of day!
2 All thy works with joy surround thee,
earth and heaven reflect thy rays;
stars and angels sing around thee,
center of unbroken praise.
Field and forest, vale and mountain,
flowery meadow, flashing sea,
chanting bird and flowing fountain
call us to rejoice in thee.
3 Thou art giving and forgiving,
ever blessing, ever blest,
wellspring of the joy of living,
ocean depth of happy rest!
Thou our Father, Christ, our brother,
all who live in love are thine;
teach us how to love each other,
lift us to the joy divine.

To Zion Jesus came,
The children all stood singing
Hosanna to His Name;

But as He rode along,
He let them still attend Him,
And smiled to hear their song.

2 And since the Lord retaineth
His love for children still,
Though now as King He reigneth
On Zion’s heavenly hill;
We’ll flock around His banner
Who sits upon His throne,
And cry aloud, “Hosanna
To David’s royal Son!”
Hosanna! Hosanna to Jesus we’ll sing.
3 For should we fail proclaiming
Our great Redeemer’s praise,
The stones, our silence shaming,
Would their hosannas raise.
But shall we only render
The tribute of our words?
No! while our hearts are tender,
They too shall be the Lord’s.

mount of thy redeeming love.

interposed his precious blood.

daily I'm constrained to be!

where oxen now are feeding?
Good Christian, fear, for sinners here
the silent Word is pleading.
Nails, spear shall pierce him through,
the cross be borne for me, for you.
Hail, hail the Word made flesh,
the babe, the son of Mary.

come, peasant, king, to own him.
