<p>My song is love unknown,<br>
My Savior&#8217;s love to me;<br>
Love to the loveless shown,<br>
That they might lovely be.<br>
O who am I, that for my sake<br>
My Lord should take, frail flesh and die?</p>
<p>He came from His blest throne<br>
Salvation to bestow;<br>
But men made strange, and none<br>
The longed for Christ would know:<br>
But O! my Friend, my Friend indeed,<br>
Who at my need His life did spend.</p>
<p>Sometimes they strew His way,<br>
And His sweet praises sing;<br>
Resounding all the day<br>
Hosannas to their King:<br>
Then &#8220;Crucify!&#8221; is all their breath,<br>
And for His death they thirst and cry.</p>
<p>Why, what hath my Lord done?<br>
What makes this rage and spite?<br>
He made the lame to run,<br>
He gave the blind their sight,<br>
Sweet injuries! Yet they at these<br>
Themselves displease, and &#8217;gainst Him rise.</p>
<p>They rise and needs will have<br>
My dear Lord made away;<br>
A murderer they saved,<br>
The Prince of life they slay,<br>
Yet cheerful He to suffering goes,<br>
That He His foes from thence might free.</p>
<p>In life, no house, no home<br>
My Lord on earth might have;<br>
In death no friendly tomb<br>
But what a stranger gave.<br>
What may I say? Heav&#8217;n was His home;<br>
But mine the tomb wherein He lay.</p>
<p>Here might I stay and sing,<br>
No story so divine;<br>
Never was love, dear King!<br>
Never was grief like Thine.<br>
This is my Friend, in Whose sweet praise<br>
I all my days could gladly spend.</p>
