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

earth and heaven reflect thy rays;
stars and angels sing around thee,
center of unbroken praise.

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.

Come, You Faithful, Raise the Strain
Author: John of Damascus; John Mason Neale Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 380 hymnals Topics: Music and Singing Lyrics: 1 Come, you faithful, raise the strain
of triumphant gladness:
God has brought forth Israel
into joy from sadness,
loosed from Pharaoh's bitter yoke
Jacob's sons and daughters,
led them with unmoistened foot
through the Red Sea waters.
2 'Tis the spring of souls today,
Christ has burst his prison,
and from three days' sleep in death
as a sun has risen;
all the winter of our sins,
long and dark, is flying
from his light, to whom we give
laud and praise undying.
3 Now the queen of seasons, bright
with the day of splendour,
with the royal feast of feasts,
comes its joy to render;
comes to gladden faithful hearts,
who with true affection
welcome in unwearied strains
Jesus' resurrection!
4 Neither could the gates of death,
nor the tomb's dark portal,
nor the watchers, nor the seal
hold him as a mortal:
for today amid his own
he now stands, bestowing
God's true peace which evermore
passes human knowing. Used With Tune: AVE VIRGO VIRGINUM
Come, You Faithful, Raise the Strain
