My Song Is Love Unknown
Author: Samuel Crossman, c. 1624-1683 Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.4.4 Appears in 127 hymnals Scripture: Luke 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
Salvation to bestow;
But men 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 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 mad the lame to run,
He gave the blind their sight.
Sweet injuries! is all their breath,
Themselves displease and 'gainst him rise.
5 They rise, and needs will have
My dear Lord made away;
A murderer they saved,
The Prince of life they slay,
Yet cheerful He to suff'ring goes,
That He His foes from thence might free.

Lord, You Give the Great Commission
Author: Jeffery W. Rowthorn Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 43 hymnals Scripture: Luke 23:34 Lyrics: 1 Lord, you give the great commission:
"Heal the sick and preach the word."
Lest the church neglect its mission,
And the gospel go unheard,
Help us witness to your purpose
With renewed integrity;
With the Spirit's gifts empower us
For the work of ministry.
2 Lord, you call us to your service:
"In my name baptize and teach."
That the world may trust your promise,
Life abundant meant for each,
Give us all new fervor, draw us
Closer in community;
With the Spirit's gifts empower us
For the work of ministry.
3 Lord, you make the common holy:
"This my body, this my blood."
Let us all, for earth's true glory,
Daily lift life heavenward,
Asking that the world around us
Share your children's liberty;
With the Spirit's gifts empower us
For the work of ministry.
4 Lord, you show us love's true measure:
"Father, what they do, forgive."
Yet we hoard as private treasure
All that you so freely give.
May your care and mercy lead us
To a just society:
With the Spirit's gifts empower us
For the work of ministry.
5 Lord, you bless with words assuring:
"I am with you to the end."
Faith and hope and love restoring,
may we serve as you intend,
and, amid the cares that claim us,
hold in mind eternity:
With the Spirit's gifts empower us
For the work of ministry.

At Calvary
Author: William R. Newell Meter: 9.9.9.4 with refrain Appears in 166 hymnals Scripture: Luke 23:33 First Line: Years I spent in vanity and pride Refrain First Line: Mercy there was great, and grace was free Lyrics: 1 Years I spent in vanity and pride,
caring not my Lord was crucified,
knowing not it was for me he died on Calvary.
[Refrain:]
Mercy there was great, and grace was free;
pardon there was multiplied to me;
there my burdened soul found liberty at Calvary.
2 By God’s Word at last my sin I learned;
then I trembled at the law I’d spurned,
till my guilty soul imploring turned to Calvary. (Refrain)
3 Now I’ve given to Jesus everything;
now I gladly own him as my King;
now my raptured soul can only sing of Calvary. (Refrain)

At Calvary
Hymn 6
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 145 hymnals Scripture: Luke 22:19 First Line: Jesus is gone above the skies Lyrics:
Jesus is gone above the skies,
Where our weak senses reach him not;
And carnal objects court our eyes,
To thrust our Savior from our thought.
He knows what wand'ring hearts we have,
Apt to forget his lovely face;
And, to refresh our minds, he gave
These kind memorials of his grace.
The Lord of life this table spread
With his own flesh and dying blood;
We on the rich provision feed,
And taste the wine, and bless the God.
Let sinful sweets be all forgot,
And earth grow less in our esteem
Christ and his love fill every thought,
And faith and hope be fixed on him.
While he is absent from our sight,
'Tis to prepare our souls a place,
That we may dwell in heav'nly light,
And live for ever near his face.
[Our eyes look upwards to the hills
Whence our returning Lord shall come;
We wait thy chariot's awful wheels,
To fetch our longing spirits home.]
