My song is love unknown

Author: Samuel Crossman, c.1624-1683 Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 127 hymnals Topics: Music / Singing / Song Lyrics: 1 My song is love unknown, my Saviour’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 we 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 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. Scripture: Mark 11:1-11 Used With Tune: LOVE UNKNOWN

Juan Bautista Cabrera Ivars

1837 - 1916 Person Name: Juan Bautista Cabrera Topics: Singing Author of "Nunca, Dios mío" in Celebremos Su Gloria Juan Bautista Cabrera Ivars was born in Benisa, Spain, April 23, 1837. He attended seminary in Valencia, studying Hebrew and Greek, and was ordained as a priest. He fled to Gibraltar in 1863 due to religious persecution where he abandoned Catholicism. He worked as a teacher and as a translator. One of the works he translated was E.H. Brown's work on the thirty-nine articles of the Anglican Church, which was his introduction to Protestantism. He was a leader of a Spanish Reformed Church in Gibraltar. He continued as a leader in this church when he returned to Spain after the government of Isabel II fell, but continued to face legal difficulties. He then organized the Spanish Reformed Episcopal Church and was consecrated as bishop in 1894. He recognized the influence of music and literature on evangelism which led him to write and translate hymns.
