My Song Is Love Unknown

Author: Samuel Crossman Hymnal: PHLG2023 #260 (2023) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 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 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! 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 suff'ring 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? Heav'n 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: Jesus Christ Suffering and Death Languages: English Tune Title: LOVE UNKNOWN

O Sacred Head, Now Wounded

Author: Bernard of Clairvaux, 12th cent.; Paul Gerhardt; James W. Alexander Hymnal: PHLG2023 #261 (2023) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 O sacred Head, now wounded, with grief and shame weighed down, now scornfully surrounded with thorns, Thine only crown. O sacred Head, what glory, what bliss till now was Thine! Yet, though despised and gory, I joy to call Thee mine. 2 What Thou, my Lord, hast suffered was all for sinners' gain; mine, mine was the transgression, but Thine the deadly pain. Lo, here I fall, my Savior! 'Tis I deserve Thy place; look on me with Thy favor, vouchsafe to me Thy grace. 3 What language shall I borrow to thank Thee, dearest Friend, for this, Thy dying sorrow, Thy pity without end? O make me Thine forever! And should I fainting be, Lord, let me never, never outlive my love for Thee. 4 Be near when I am dying, O show Thy cross to me! And, for my succor flying, come, Lord, to set me free: these eyes, new faith receiving, from Thee shall never move; for he who dies believing dies safely in Thy love.

Alas, and Did My Savior Bleed?

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: PHLG2023 #262 (2023) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Alas, and did my Savior bleed Lyrics: 1 Alas, and did my Savior bleed, and did my Sov'reign die? Would He devote that sacred head for such a worm as I? 2 Was it for crimes that I had done He groaned upon the tree? Amazing pity, grace unknown, and love beyond degree! 3 well might the sun in darkness hide and shut his glories in, when Christ, the mighty Maker died for man the creature's sin. 4 Thus might I hide my blushing face while His dear cross appears; dissolve my heart in thankfulness, and melt mine eyes in tears. 5 But drops of grief can ne'er repay the debt of love I owe; here, Lord, I give myself away; 'tis all that I can do.

Man of Sorrows, What a Name

Author: Philip P. Bliss Hymnal: PHLG2023 #263 (2023) Meter: 7.7.7.8 First Line: "Man of Sorrows," what a name Lyrics: 1 "Man of Sorrows," what a name for the Son of God, who came ruined sinners to reclaim! Hallelujah! What a Savior! 2 Bearing shame and scoffing rude, in my place condemned He stood; sealed my pardon with His blood: Hallelujah! What a Savior! 3 Guilty, vile, and helpless, we; spotless Lamb of God was He; full atonement, can it be? Hallelujah! What a Savior! 4 Lifted up was He to die, "It is finished," was His cry; now in heav'n exalted high: Hallelujah! What a Savior! 5 When He comes, our glorious King, all His ransomed home to bring, then anew this song we'll sing: Hallelujah! What a Savior!

Go to Dark Gethsemane

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: PHLG2023 #264 (2023) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Go to dark Gethsemane, all who feel the tempter's pow'r; your Redeemer's conflict see; watch with Him one bitter hour; turn not from His griefs away; learn from Jesus Christ to pray. 2 Follow to the judgment hall; view the Lord of life arraigned; O, the wormwood and the gall! O, the pangs His soul sustained! Shun not suff'ring, shame, or loss; learn from Him to bear the cross. 3 Calv'ry's mournful mountain climb; there, adoring at His feet, mark the miracle of time, God's own sacrifice complete. "It is finished!" hear Him cry; learn from Jesus Christ to die. 4 Early hasten to the tomb where they laid His breathless clay, all is solitude and gloom, who has taken Him away? Christ is ris'n! He meets our eyes. Savior, teach us so to rise. Topics: Jesus Christ Suffering and Death Languages: English Tune Title: REDHEAD

Throned Upon the Awful Tree

Author: John Ellerton Hymnal: PHLG2023 #265 (2023) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Throned upon the awful tree, King of grief, I watch with Thee; darkness veils Thine anguished face, none its lines of woe can trace, none can tell what pangs unknown hold Thee silent and alone. 2 Silent through those three dread hours, wrestling with the evil pow'rs, left alone with human sin, gloom around Thee and within, till th'appointed time is nigh, till the Lamb of God may die. 3 Hark that cry that peals aloud upward through the whelming cloud! Thou, the Father’s only Son, Thou, His own Anointed One. Thou dost ask Him- can it be? “Why hast Thou forsaken Me?” 4 Lord, should fear and anguish roll darkly o’er my sinful soul, Thou, who once wast thus bereft that Thine own might ne’er be left- teach me by that bitter cry in the gloom to know Thee nigh.

Stricken, Smitten, and Afflicted

Author: Thomas Kelly Hymnal: PHLG2023 #266 (2023) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Stricken, smitten, and afflicted, see Him dying on the tree! 'Tis the Christ by man rejected; yes, my soul, 'tis He, 'tis He! 'Tis the long-expected Prophet, David's Son, yet David's Lord; by His Son God now has spoken; 'tis the true and faithful Word. 2 Tell me, ye who hear Him groaning, was there ever grief like His? Friends thro' fear His cause disowning, foes insulting His distress; many hands were raised to wound Him, none would interpose to save; but the deepest stroke that pierced Him was the stroke that Justice gave. 3 Ye who think of sin but lightly, nor suppose the evil great, here may view its nature rightly, here its guilt may estimate. Mark the sacrifice appointed; see who bears the awful load; 'tis the Word, the Lord's Anointed, Son of Man and Son of God. 4 Here we have a firm foundation, here the refuge of the lost: Christ the Rock of our salvation, His the name of which we boast. Lamb of God, for sinners wounded, Sacrifice to cancel guilt! None shall ever be confounded who on Him their hope have built.

In the Cross of Christ I Glory

Author: John Bowring Hymnal: PHLG2023 #267 (2023) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 In the cross of Christ I glory, tow'ring o'er the wrecks of time; all the light of sacred story gathers round its head sublime. 2 In the cross of Christ I glory, there for all was grace made free, none deserving, yet receiving life through death at Calvary. 3 When the woes of life o'ertake me, hopes deceive and fears annoy, never shall the cross forsake me. Lo! it glows with peace and joy. 4 When the sun of bliss is beaming light and love upon my way, from the cross the radiance streaming adds more luster to the day. 5 Bane and blessing, pain and pleasure, by the cross are sanctified; peace is there that knows no measure, joys that through all time abide.

His Be the Victor's Name

Author: Samuel Whitelock Gandy Hymnal: PHLG2023 #268 (2023) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 His be the Victor’s name, who fought the fight alone; triumphant saints no honor claim; His conquest was their own. 2 By weakness and defeat He won a glorious crown, trod all our foes beneath His feet by being trodden down. 3 He Satan’s pow'r laid low; made sin, He sin o’erthrew; bowed to the grave, destroyed it so, and death, by dying, slew. 4 Bless, bless the Conqu'ror slain, slain in His victory; who lived, who died, who lives again— For thee, His church, for thee!

The Perfect Righteousness of God

Author: Albert Midlane Hymnal: PHLG2023 #269 (2023) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 The perfect righteousness of God is witnessed in the Savior's blood; 'tis the cross of Christ we trace His righteousness, yet wondrous grace. 2 God could not pass the sinner by; justice demands that he should die; but in the cross of Christ we see how God can save, yet righteous be. 3 The judgment fell on Jesus' head; 'twas in His blood sin's debt was paid; stern Justice can demand no more, and Mercy can dispense her store. 4 The sinner who believes is free, can say, "The Savior died for me," can point to the atoning blood and say, "This made my peace with God."
