My Song Is Love Unknown

Author: Samuel Crossman Hymnal: Glory to God #209 (2013) Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.4.4 Scripture: Hebrews 5:1-10 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 heaven’s throne salvation to bestow; the world that was his own would not its Savior know. But O my Friend, my Friend indeed, who at my need his life did spend! 3 Sometimes we strew his way, and his sweet praises sing, resounding all the day hosannas to our King. Then "Crucify!" is all our breath, and for his death we thirst and cry. 4 Unheeding, we will have our dear Lord made away, a murderer to save, the prince of life to slay. Yet steadfast he to suffering goes, that he his foes from thence might free. 5 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.

O who am I, that for my sake my God should take frail flesh and die? My God should take frail flesh and die? 2 God left the richest throne salvation to bestow; But Christ as flesh and bone the world refused to know. But, O my Friend, my Friend indeed, who at my need did life expend; who at my need did life expend. 3 Sometimes they threw down palms and sweetest praises sang. Hosannas and glad psalms through streets and markets rang. Then "Crucify!" is all their breath, for blood and death they thirst and cry; for blood and death they thirst and cry. 4 What has my Sovereign done? What makes this rage and spite? Christ gave new strength to run, restored the gift of sight. Sweet injuries! Yet they at these themselves displease, and 'gainst Christ rise; themselves displease, and 'gainst Christ rise. 5 I sing my plain belief, one song my heart out-pours: Never was pain nor grief, never was love like yours. This is my Friend, in whose sweet praise I all my days could gladly spend; I all my days could gladly spend.

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 hath 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 a way; A murderer they save, The Prince of Life they slay. Yet steadfast 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.

How Shall I Follow Him I Serve?

Author: Josiah Conder Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #94 (1926) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Hebrews 5:8 Lyrics: 1 How shall I follow Him I serve? How shall I copy Him I love? Nor from those blessed footsteps swerve, Which lead me to His seat above? 2 Privations, sorrows, bitter scorn, The life of toil, the mean abode, The faithless kiss, the crown of thorn,-- Are these the consecrated road? 3 'Twas thus He suffered, though a Son, Foreknowing, choosing, feeling all, Until the perfect work was done, And drunk the bitter cup of gall. 4 Lord, should my path through suffering lie, Forbid it I should e'er repine; Still let me turn to Calvary, Nor heed my griefs, remembering Thine. 5 O let me think how Thou didst leave Untasted every pure delight, To fast, to faint, to watch, to grieve, The toilsome day, the homeless night: 6 To faint, to grieve, to die for me! Thou camest not Thyself to please: And, dear as earthly comforts be, Shall I not love Thee more than these? 7 Yes, I would count them all but loss, To gain the notice of Thine eye: Flesh shrinks and trembles at the cross, But Thou canst give the victory.

Thou man of griefs, remember me

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #273 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Hebrews 5:7 Lyrics: 1 Thou man of griefs, remember me, Who never canst thyself forget Thy last, mysterious agony, Thy fainting pangs, and bloody sweat! 2 When, wrestling in the strength of prayer, Thy spirit sunk beneath its load! Thy feeble flesh afraid to bear The wrath of an almighty God! 3 Father if I may call thee so, Regard my fearful heart's desire, Remove this load of guilty wo, Nor let me in my sins expire! 4 I tremble lest the wrath divine, Which bruises now my sinful soul, Should bruise this wretched soul of mine, Long as eternal ages roll! 5 To thee, my last distress I bring! The heighten'd fear of death I find! The tyrant, brandishing his sting, Appears, and hell is close behind! 6 I deprecate that death alone, That endless banishment from thee! O save me, through thine only Son, Who trembled, wept, and bled for me! Topics: Apprehension confessed, or Jesus was heard in that he feared; Supplication for the divine mercy

Before the Throne of God Above

Author: Charitie L. de Chenez, 1841-1923 Hymnal: Lutheran Service Book #574 (2006) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Hebrews 5:1-10 Lyrics: 1 Before the throne of God above I have a strong, a perfect plea; A great High Priest, whose name is Love, Who ever lives and pleads for me. 2 My name is graven on His hands, My name is written on His heart; I know that while in heav'n He stands No tongue can bid me thence depart. 3 When Satan tempts me to despair, And tells me of the guilt within, Upward I look, and see Him there Who made an end of all my sin. 4 Because the sinless Savior died, My sinful soul is counted free; For God, the just, is satisfied To look on Him and pardon me. 5 Behold Him there! The risen Lamb! My perfect, spotless righteousness, The great unchangeable I AM, The King of glory and of grace! 6 At one with Him, I cannot die, My soul is purchased by His blood; My life is hid with Christ on high, With Christ, my Savior and my God.
