Lyrics
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?
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
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
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
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
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
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
This is my Friend, in whose sweet praise
I all my days could gladly spend
