My Song Is Love Unknown
Author: Samuel Crossman Hymnal: Lift Up Your Hearts #148 (2013) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8.8 Scripture: Matthew 27 Lyrics: 1 My song is love unknown,
my Savior’s love to me.
Love to the loveless shown,
that they might lovely be.
Oh, who am I that for my sake,
oh, who am I that for my sake
my Lord should take frail flesh and die?
2 He came from heaven’s throne
salvation to bestow;
but they refused, and none
the longed for Christ would know.
This is my friend, my friend indeed,
this is my friend, my friend indeed,
who at my need, his life did spend.
3 Sometimes they crowd his way
and his sweet praises sing,
resounding all the day,
hosannas to their King.
Then, “Crucify!” is all their breath,
then, “Crucify!” is all their breath,
and for his death they thirst and cry.
4 Why, what has my Lord done
to cause this rage and spite?
He made the lame to run
and gave the blind their sight.
What injuries, yet these are why,
what injuries, yet these are why
the Lord Most High so cruelly dies.
5 With angry shouts they have
my dear Lord done away;
a murderer they save,
the Prince of Life they slay.
Yet willingly, he bears the shame,
yet willingly, he bears the shame,
that through his name all might be free.
6 Here might I stay and sing
of him my soul adores:
never was love, dear King,
never was grief like yours.
This is my friend in whose sweet praise,
this is my friend in whose sweet praise
I all my days would gladly spend.

My song is love unknown
Author: Samuel Crossman, 1624-84 Hymnal: Together in Song #341 (1999) Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.4.4 Scripture: Matthew 27:51-61 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 all 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.
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 Why, what hath my Lord done?
What makes this rage and spite?
He made the lame to run,
he gave the blind their sight.
Sweet injuries!
Yet they at these
themselves displease,
and 'gainst him rise.
5 They rise and needs will have
my dear Lord made away;
a murderer they save;
the Prince of life they slay.
Yet cheerful he
to suffering goes,
that he his foes
from thence might free.
6 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.
7 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.

O Sacred Head, Surrounded
Author: Henry Williams Baker (1821-1877); Arnulf of Louvain (1200?-1250?); Paul Gerhardt (1607-1676); James Waddell Alexander (1804-1853) Hymnal: Common Praise (1998) #198 (1998) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Scripture: Matthew 26:14-75; 27 Lyrics: 1 O sacred head surrounded
by crown of piercing thorn;
O royal head so wounded,
reviled, and put to scorn:
death's shadows rise before you,
the glow of life decays,
yet angel hosts adore you
and tremble as they gaze!
2 Your youthfulness and vigour
are spent, your strength is gone,
and in your tortured figure
I see death drawing on:
what agony of dying,
what love, to sinners free!
My Lord, all grace supplying,
O turn your face on me!
3 Your sinless soul's oppression
was all for sinners' gain;
mine, mine was the transgression,
but yours the deadly pain:
I bow my head, my Saviour,
for I deserve your place;
O grant to me your favour,
and heal me by your grace.
4 What language shall I borrow
to thank you, dearest Friend,
for this your dying sorrow,
your mercy without end?
Lord, make me yours for ever:
your servant let me be;
and may I never, never
betray your love for me. Topics: Holy Week (Good Friday) Languages: English Tune Title: PASSION CHORALE

Resting from his work today
Author: Thomas Whytehead, 1815-1843 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #160 (2010) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Scripture: Matthew 27:60-61 Lyrics: 1 Resting from his work today
in the tomb the Saviour lay;
still he slept, from head to feet
shrouded in the winding-sheet,
lying in the rock alone,
hidden by the sealèd stone.
2 Late at even there was seen
watching long the Magdalene;
early, ere the break of day,
sorrowful she took her way
to the holy garden glade,
where her buried Lord was laid.
3 So with thee, till life shall end,
I would solemn vigil spend;
let me hew lhee, Lord, a shrine
in this rocky heart of mine,
where in pure embalmèd cell,
none but thou may ever dwell.
4 Myrrh and spices will I bring,
true affection's offering;
close the door from sight and sound
of the busy world around;
and in patient watch remain
till my Lord appear again. Topics: Hymns for the Church Year Good Friday Languages: English Tune Title: PETRA

Throned Upon the Awful Tree
Author: John Ellerton Hymnal: The Presbyterian Hymnal #99 (1990) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Scripture: Matthew 27 Lyrics: 1 Throned upon the awful tree,
Lamb of God, Your grief I see.
Darkness veils Your anguished face;
None its lines of woe can trace.
None can tell what pangs unknown
Hold You silent and alone--
2 Silent through those three dread hours,
Wrestling with the evil powers,
Left alone with human sin,
Gloom around You and within,
Till the appointed time is nigh,
Til the Lamb of God may die.
3 Hark, that cry that peals aloud
Upward through the whelming cloud!
You, the Father’s only Son,
You, His own anointed one,
You are asking--can it be --
“Why have You forsaken Me?”
4 Lord, should fear and anguish roll,
Flooding o’er my sinful soul,
You, who once were thus bereft
That Your own might ne’er be left,
Teach me by that bitter cry
In the gloom to know You nigh.
