My song is love unknown

Author: Samuel Crossman (c. 1624-1683) Meter: 6.6.12.8.8 Appears in 127 hymnals Scripture: John 1:10-11 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. Topics: Life in Christ Christ Incarnate - Passion and Death; Christian Year Holy Week Used With Tune: LOVE UNKNOWN

Moses and Christ; or, sins against the law and gospel

Appears in 88 hymnals Scripture: John 1:17 First Line: The law by Moses came Lyrics: 1 The law by Moses came, But peace, and truth, and love, Were brought by Christ (a nobler name) Descending from above. 2 Amidst the house of God Their diff'rent works were done; Moses a faithful servant stood, But Christ a faithful Son. 3 Then to his new commands Be strict obedience paid; O’er all his Father’s house he stands The sov'reign and the head. 4 The man that durst despise The law that Moses brought, Behold how terribly he dies For his presumptuous fault. 5 But sorer veng'ance falls On that rebellious race, Who hate to hear when Jesus calls, And dare resist his grace.
