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. Languages: English Tune Title: LOVE UNKNOWN

I fain would take my stand:
the shadow of a mighty rock
within a weary land,
a home within the wilderness,
a rest upon the way,
from the burning of the noontide heat
and the burden of the day.
2 Upon the cross of Jesus
my eyes at times can see
the very dying form of one
who suffered there for me;
and from my smitten heart with tears
two wonders I confess,
the wonder of his glorious love,
and my unworthiness.
3 I take, O cross, your shadow
for my abiding place;
I ask no other sunshine than
the sunshine of his face;
content to let the world go by,
to know no gain nor loss,
my sinful self my only shame,
my glory all, the cross. Languages: English Tune Title: ST CHRISTOPHER

stood the mournful Mother weeping
where he hung, the dying Lord;
2 through her soul of joy bereavèd,
bowed with sorrow, deeply grievèd,
passed the sharp and piercing sword.
3 Who upon that mother gazing,
in her anguish so amazing,
born of woman, would not weep?
4 Who, of Christ's dear Mother thinking
while her son that cup is drinking,
would not share her sorrow deep?
5 For his people's sins chastisèd
she beheld her Son despisèd
scourged, and crowned with thorns entwined,
6 saw him then from judgement taken,
and in death by all forsaken,
till his spirit he resigned.
7 Near your cross, O Christ, abiding,
grief and love my heart dividing,
I with her would take my place:
8 by your saving cross uphold me,
in your dying, Christ, enfold me,
with the deathless arms of grace. Tune Title: STABAT MATER

of shepherds watching there,
and of the news that came to them
from angels in the air.
The light that shone on Bethlehem
fills all the world today.
Of Jesus' birth and peace on earth
the angels sing alway.
2 O sing a song of Nazareth,
of sunny days of joy;
O sing of fragrant flowers' breath,
and of the sinless boy.
For now the flowers of Nazareth
in every heart may grow.
Now spreads the fame of his dear name
on all the winds that blow.
3 O sing a song of Galilee,
of lake and woods and hill,
of him who walked upon the sea
and bade its waves be still.
For though, like waves on Galilee,
dark seas of trouble roll,
when faith has heard the Master's word,
falls peace upon the soul.
4 O sing a song of Calvary,
its glory and dismay,
of him who hung upon the tree,
and took our sins away.
For he who died on Calvary
is risen from the grave,
and Christ, our Lord, by heaven adored,
is mighty now to save.
