My Song Is Love Unknown
Author: Samuel Crossman, c. 1624-1683 Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.4.4 Appears in 128 hymnals Scripture: Mark 15 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 He came from his blest throne
Salvation to bestow;
But men 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 way
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 mad the lame to run,
He gave the blind their sight.
Sweet injuries! is all their breath,
Themselves displease and 'gainst him rise.
5 They rise, and needs will have
My dear Lord made away;
A murderer they saved,
The Prince of life they slay,
Yet cheerful He to suff'ring goes,
That He His foes from thence might free.

women, children, men.
Jesus makes us free to live again!

come and go in peace;
love him with your hair! [Refrain]

stand when men have fled;
Christ needs loving still,
though your hope is dead.

Joyful Is the Dark
Author: Brian Wren, b. 1936 Meter: 10.10.11.10 Appears in 7 hymnals Scripture: Mark 15:46-47 First Line: Joyful is the dark, holy, hidden, God Lyrics: 1 Joyful is the dark, holy, hidden God,
Rolling cloud of night beyond all naming:
Majesty in darkness, Energy of love,
Word-in-Flesh, the mystery proclaiming.
2 Joyful is the dark, Spirit of the deep,
Winging wildly o'er the world's creation,
Silken sheen of midnight plumage black and bright,
Swooping with the beauty of a raven.
3 Joyful is the dark, shadowed stable floor;
Angels flicker, God on earth confessing,
As with exultation, Mary, giving birth,
Hails the infant cry of need and blessing.
4 Joyful is the dark, coolness of the tomb,
Waiting for the wonder of the morning;
Never was that midnight touched by dread and gloom:
Darkness was the cradle of the dawning.
5 Joyful is the dark, depth of love divine,
Roaring, looming thundercloud of glory;
Holy, haunting beauty, living, loving God.
Hallelujah! Sing and tell the story! Used With Tune: JOYFUL DARKNESS

Beneath the Cross of Jesus
Author: Elizabeth C. Clephane, 1830-1869 Meter: 7.6.8.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 530 hymnals Scripture: Mark 15:29-41 Lyrics: 1 Beneath the cross of Jesus
I gladly 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 that cross of Jesus
my eye 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 wonders of redeeming 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. Used With Tune: ST. CHRISTOPHER
Beneath the Cross of Jesus
Go to dark Gethsemane
Author: Montgomery Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 506 hymnals Scripture: Mark 15 Lyrics: 1 Go to dark Gethsemane,
Ye who feel the tempter's power,
Your Redeemer's conflict see,
Watch with him one bitter hour;
Turn not from his griefs away,
Learn of Jesus Christ to pray.
2 Follow to the judgment-hall,
View the Lord of life arraigned:
Oh, the wormwood and the gall!
Oh, the pangs his soul sustained!
Shun not suffering, shame, or loss,
Learn of him to bear the cross.
3 Calvary's mournful mountain climb;
There, adoring at his feet,
Mark that miracle of time--
God's own sacrifice complete;
It is finished, hear him cry,
Learn of Jesus Christ to die.
4 Early hasten to the tomb
Where they laid his lifeless clay;
All is solitude and gloom--
Who hath taken him away?
Christ hath risen--he meets our eyes;
Saviour, teach us so to rise.
