My Song Is Love Unknown

Author: Samuel Crossman Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.4.4 Appears in 127 hymnals Scripture: John 3:14-21 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.

My Saviour and my King

Appears in 75 hymnals Scripture: John 3:34 Lyrics: 1 My Saviour and my King, thy Beauties are Divine; Thy Lips with Blessings overflow, and ev'ry Grace is thine. 2 Now make thy Glory known, gird on thy dreadful Sword, And ride in Majesty to spread the Conquests of thy Word. 3 Strike thro' thy stubborn Foes, or melt their Hearts t'obey, While Justice, Meekness, Grace, and Truth attend thy glorious Way. 4 Thy Laws, O GOD, are right; thy Throne shall ever stand; And thy victorious Gospel proves a Sceptre in thy Hand. 5 Thy Father and thy GOD hath without Measure shed His Spirit like a joyful Oil t'anoint thy sacred Head. 6 Behold, at thy Right-hand the Gentile Church is seen, Like a fair Bride in rich Attire; and Princes guard the Queen. 7 Fair Bride, receive his Love, forget thy Father's House; Forsake thy Gods, thy Idol-Gods, and pay thy Lord thy Vows. 8 O let thy God and King thy sweetest Thoughts employ; Thy Children shall his Honour sing in Palaces of Joy.

Mark How the Lamb of God's Self-Offering

Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. (1944-) Meter: 9.8.9.8 D Appears in 6 hymnals Scripture: John 3:14-21 Lyrics: 1 Mark how the Lamb of God's self-offering our human sinfulness takes on in the birth-waters of the Jordan as Jesus is baptized by John. Hear how the voice from heaven thunders, "Lo, this is my beloved Son." See how in dovelike form the Spirit descends on God's Anointed One. 2 From this assurance of God's favour Jesus goes to the wilderness, there to endure a time of testing preparing him to teach and bless. So we, by water and the Spirit baptized into Christ's ministry, are often led to paths of service through mazes of adversity. 3 Grant us, O God, the strength and courage to live the faith our lips declare; bless us in our baptismal calling; Christ's royal priesthood help us share. Turn us from every false allegiance, that we may trust in Christ alone: raise up in us a chosen people transformed by love to be your own. Topics: Baptism of Jesus Used With Tune: RENDEZ À DIEU
