My song is love unknown

Author: Samuel Crossman (c. 1624-1683) Hymnal: Church Hymnary (4th ed.) #399 (2005) Meter: 6.6.12.8.8 Scripture: Matthew 27:59-60 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, and 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 strong 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 away; a murderer they save, the Prince of Life they slay. Yet cheerful he to suffering 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? Heaven 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.

My Lord, all grace supplying, O turn your face on me! 3 Your sinless soul's oppression was all for sinners' gain; mine, mine was the transgression, but yours the deadly pain: I bow my head, my Saviour, for I deserve your place; O grant to me your favour, and heal me by your grace. 4 What language shall I borrow to thank you, dearest Friend, for this your dying sorrow, your mercy without end? Lord, make me yours for ever: your servant let me be; and may I never, never betray your love for me. Topics: Holy Week (Good Friday) Languages: English Tune Title: PASSION CHORALE

Throned Upon the Awful Tree

Author: John Ellerton Hymnal: The Presbyterian Hymnal #99 (1990) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Scripture: Matthew 27 Lyrics: 1 Throned upon the awful tree, Lamb of God, Your grief I see. Darkness veils Your anguished face; None its lines of woe can trace. None can tell what pangs unknown Hold You silent and alone-- 2 Silent through those three dread hours, Wrestling with the evil powers, Left alone with human sin, Gloom around You and within, Till the appointed time is nigh, Til the Lamb of God may die. 3 Hark, that cry that peals aloud Upward through the whelming cloud! You, the Father’s only Son, You, His own anointed one, You are asking--can it be -- “Why have You forsaken Me?” 4 Lord, should fear and anguish roll, Flooding o’er my sinful soul, You, who once were thus bereft That Your own might ne’er be left, Teach me by that bitter cry In the gloom to know You nigh.
