My Song Is Love Unknown

Author: Samuel Crossman Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.4.4 Appears in 129 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My song is love unknown, My Savior’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 Christ came from heaven's 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 way Hosannas to their King, Then “Crucify!” Is all their breath, And for His death They thirst and cry. 4 They rise, and needs will have My dear Lord made away; A murderer they save, The Prince of life they slay. Yet steadfast He To suffering goes, That He His foes From thence might free. 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. Scripture: Acts 3:14-15 Used With Tune: LOVE UNKNOWN

When other helpers fail and comforts flee, Help of the helpless, O abide with me. 2 Swift to its close ebbs out life’s little day; Earth’s joys grow dim, its glories pass away; Change and decay in all around I see. O Thou who changest not, abide with me. 3 I need Thy presence every passing hour; What but Thy grace can foil the tempter’s power? Who, like Thyself, my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me. 4 I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless: Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness. Where is death’s sting? Where, grave, thy victory? I triumph still, if Thou abide with me. 5 Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes; Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies: Heaven’s morning breaks, and earth’s vain shadows flee; In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.

At the Name of Jesus

Author: Caroline Maria Noel Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 257 hymnals Lyrics: 1 At the name of Jesus Every knee shall bow, Every tongue confess Him King of glory now; ’Tis the Father’s pleasure We should call Him Lord, Who from the beginning Was the mighty Word. 2 Humbled for a season, To receive a name From the lips of sinners, Unto whom He came, Faithfully He bore it Spotless to the last, Brought it back victorious When from death He passed; 3 Bore it up triumphant, With its human light, Through all ranks of creatures, To the central height, To the throne of Godhead, to the Father’s breast; Filled it with the glory Of that perfect rest. 4 Christians, this Lord Jesus Shall return again, With His Father’s glory, O'er the earth to reign; For all wreaths of empire Meet upon His brow, And our hearts confess Him King of glory now.

Author: Janie Alford Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, O Spirit, dwell among us, Come with Pentecostal power; Give the church a stronger vision, Help us face each crucial hour. Built upon a firm foundation, Jesus Christ, the Cornerstone, Still the church is called to mission That God's love shall be made known. 2 We would raise our alleluias For the grace of yester-years; For tomorrow's unknown pathway, Hear, O Lord, our humble prayers. In the church's pilgrim journey You have led us all the way, Still in presence move before us, Fire by night and cloud by day. 3 Come, O Spirit, dwell among us; Give us words of fire and flame. Help our feeble lips to praise You, Glorify Your holy name. Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, Three in one: what mystery! We would sing our loud hosannas Now and through eternity.
