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.

John 3:14-19: As when the Hebrew prophet raised

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 18 hymnals Scripture: John 3:14-19 First Line: As when the Hebrew prophet raised Lyrics: As when the Hebrew prophet raised the brazen serpent high, The wounded looked, and straight were cured, the people ceased to die: So from the Saviour on the cross a healing virtue flows; Who looks to him with lively faith is saved from endless woes. For God gave up his Son to death, so gen’rous was his love, That all the faithful might enjoy eternal life above. Not to condemn the sons of men the Son of God appeared; No weapons in his hand are seen, nor voice of terror heard: He came to raise our fallen state, and our lost hopes restore: Faith leads us to the mercy-seat, and bids us fear no more. But vengeance just for ever lies on all the rebel race, Who God’s eternal Son despise and scorn his offered grace.

Hymn 112

"Look upward in the dying hour, And live," the prophet cries; But Christ performs a nobler cure, When Faith lifts up her eyes. High on the cross the Savior hung, High in the heav'ns he reigns: Here sinners by th' old serpent stung Look, and forget their pains. When God's own Son is lifted up, A dying world revives; The Jew beholds the glorious hope, Th' expiring Gentile lives.
