My Song Is Love Unknown

Verse 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

Verse 2

He came from His blest throne
Salvation to bestow
But men 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

Verse 3

Sometimes they strew His way
And His sweet praises sing
Resounding all the way hosanna’s to their King
Then “crucify” is all their breath
And for His death they thirst and cry

Verse 4

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

Verse 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
