My Song Is Love Unknown

Author: Samuel Crossman Meter: 6.6.12.4.4.8 Appears in 127 hymnals Topics: Easter 3 Year B; Easter 3 Year C 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 people scorned, 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 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. Used With Tune: LOVE UNKNOWN

With salvation's walls surrounded, thou may'st smile at all thy foes. 2 See, the streams of living waters, springing from eternal love, well supply thy sons and daughters, and all fear of want remove. Who can faint while such a river ever flows their thirst to assuage? Grace which, like the Lord, the giver, never fails from age to age. 3 Round each habitation hov'ering, see the cloud and fire appear for a glory and a cov'ring, showing that the Lord is near. Thus they march, the pillar leading, light by night and shade by day; daily on the manna feeding which he gives them when they pray. 4 Saviour, if of Zion's city I through grace a member am, let the world deride or pity, I will glory in thy name. Fading is the worldling's pleasure, boasted pomp and empty show; solid joys and lasting treasure, none but Zion's children know. Scripture: Isaiah 33:20-21 Used With Tune: AUSTRIA

À toi la victoire pour l’éternité! Brillant de lumière, l’ange est descendu, il roule la pierre du tombeau vaincu. [Refrain:] À toi la gloire, O Ressuscité! À toi la victoire pour l’éternité! 2 Vois-le paraître: c’est lui, c’est Jésus, ton Sauveur, ton maître! Oh! ne doute plus. Sois dans l’allégresse, peuple du Seigneur, et redis sans cesse que Christ est vainqueur! [Refrain] 3 Craindrais-je encore? Il vit à jamais, celui que j’adore, le prince de paix; il est ma victoire, mon puissant soutien, ma vie et ma gloire: non, je ne crains rien! [Refrain] 1 Thine is the glory, risen, conquering Son: endless is the victory thou o’er death hast won. Angels in bright raiment rolled the stone away, kept the folded grave-clothes where the body lay. [Refrain:] Thine is the glory, risen, conquering Son, endless is the victory thou o’er death hast won. 2 Lo, Jesus meets us, risen from the tomb! lovingly he greets us, scatters fear and gloom. Let the church with gladness hymns of triumph sing, for the Lord now liveth: death hath lost its sting. [Refrain] 3 No more we doubt thee, glorious Prince of life; Life is nought without thee: aid us in our strife; make us more than conquerors, through thy deathless love; bring us safe through Jordan to thy home above.

It soothes our sorrows, heals our wounds, and drives away our fear. 2 It makes the wounded spirit whole, and calms the troubled breast; 'tis manna to the hungry soul, and to the weary, rest. 3 Dear name! the rock on which I build, my shield and hiding-place, my never-failing treas'ry filled with boundless stores of grace. 4 Jesus! my shepherd, brother, friend, my prophet, priest, and king, my Lord, my life, my way, my end, accept the praise I bring. 5 Weak is the effort of my heart, and cold my warmest thought; but when I see thee as thou art, I'll praise thee as I ought. 6 Till then I would thy love proclaim with ev'ry fleeting breath; and may the music of thy name refresh my soul in death.

There he wins our full salvation, dies that we may die no more; then arising, lives for ever, reigning where he was before. 4 High on yon celestial mountains stands his sapphire throne, all bright, midst unending alleluias bursting from the saints in light; Sion's people tell his praises, victor after hard-won fight. 5 Bring your harps, and bring your incense, sweep the string and pour the lay; let the earth proclaim his wonders, King of that celestial day; he the Lamb once slain is worthy, who was dead, and lives for ay. 6 Laud and honour to the Father, laud and honour to the Son, laud and honour to the Spirit, ever Three and ever One, consubstantial, co-eternal, while unending ages run.
