He sends the sunshine and the rain, he sends the harvest's golden grain, sunshine and rain, harvest of grain, he's my friend. 3 Jesus is all the world to me, and true to him I'll be; O, how could I this friend deny, when he's so true to me? Following him I know I'm right, he watches o'er me day and night; following him by day and night, he's my friend. 4 Jesus is all the world to me, I want no better friend; I trust him now, I'll trust him when life's fleeting days shall end. Beautiful life with such a friend, beautiful life that has no end; eternal life, eternal joy, he's my friend.

A Jesús, refugio eterno, dile todo en oración. ¿Te desprecian tus amigos? cuéntaselo en oración; En sus brazos gozo tierno, paz tendrá tu corazón. 3 Jesucristo es nuestro Amigo: de esto prueba nos mostró, Pues a redimirnos vino; por nosotros se humanó. El castigo de su pueblo en su muerte él sufrió; Cristo es un Amigo eterno; sólo en él confío yo.

My song is love unknown

Author: Samuel Crossman, 1624-84 Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.4.4 Appears in 127 hymnals Scripture: John 15:12-15 Lyrics: 1 My song is love unknown, my Saviour’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 his blest throne salvation to bestow: but all made strange, 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 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 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: Good Friday; Holy Week; Jesus Christ Passion and Cross; Passion Sunday Used With Tune: LOVE UNKNOWN

Great God, your love has called us here

Author: Brian A. Wren, b. 1936 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 32 hymnals Scripture: John 15:14-15 Lyrics: 1 Great God, your love has called us here, as we, by love, for love were made. Your living likeness still we bear, though marred, dishonoured, disobeyed. We come, with all our heart and mind your call to hear, your love to find. 2 We come with self-inflicted pains of broken trust and chosen wrong, half-free, half-bound by inner chains, by social forces swept along, by powers and systems close confined, yet seeking hope for humankind. 3 Great God, in Christ you call our name, and then receive us as your own, not through some merit, right or claim, but by your gracious love alone. We strain to glimpse your mercy-seat and find you kneeling at our feet. 4 Then take the towel, and break the bread, and humble us, and call us friends. Suffer and serve till all are fed, and show how grandly love intends to work till all creation sings, to fill all worlds, to crown all things. 5 Great God, in Christ you set us free your life to live, your joy to share. Give us your Spirit's liberty to turn from guilt and dull despair, and offer all that faith can do, while love is making all things new. Used With Tune: RYBURN
