My Song Is Love Unknown
Author: Samuel Crossman Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #482 (1995) Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.4.4 Lyrics: 1 My song is love unknown,
my Savior's love for 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 heaven’s 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 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: Son and Redeemer; Christ; Christ--Love of; Christian year--Holy Week; Christian year--Lent; Love for Christ; Salvation Scripture: Matthew 27:32-56 Languages: English Tune Title: LOVE UNKNOWN

My Song Is Love Unknown
Author: Samuel Crossman, c. 1624-1683 Hymnal: Worship (4th ed.) #490 (2011) Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.4.4 Lyrics: 1 My song is love unknown,
My Savior’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 people scorned him; 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 Why, what has my Lord done?
What makes this rage and spite?
He made the lame to run,
He gave the blind their sight.
Sweet injuries!
Yet 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?
Heav'n 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: Good Friday Languages: English Tune Title: LOVE UNKNOWN

And his sweet praises sing,
Resounding all the day
Hosannas to their King.

And for his death
They thirst and cry.

What makes this rage and spite?
He made the lame to run,
He gave the blind their sight.
Sweet injuries!
Yet they at these
Themselves displease,

My dear Lord made a way;
A murderer they save:
The prince of life they slay.

From thence might free.
