\ufeff1. My song is love unknown,
\nMy Savior\u2019s love to me,
\nLove to the loveless shown
\nThat they might lovely be.
\nOh, who am I
\nThat for my sake
\nMy Lord should take
\nFrail flesh and die?<\/p>\n
2. He came from His blest throne
\nSalvation to bestow;
\nBut men made strange, and none
\nThe longed-for Christ would know.
\nBut, oh, my friend,
\nMy friend indeed,
\nWho at my need
\nHis life did spend!<\/p>\n
3. Sometimes they strew His way
\nAnd His sweet praises sing;
\nResounding all the day
\nHosannas to their King.
\nThen \u201cCrucify!\u201d
\nIs all their breath,
\nAnd for His death
\nThey thirst and cry.<\/p>\n
4. Why, what hath my Lord done?
\nWhat makes this rage and spite?
\nHe made the lame to run,
\nHe gave the blind their sight.
\nSweet injuries!
\nYet they at these
\nThemselves displease
\nAnd \u2019gainst Him rise.<\/p>\n
5. They rise and needs will have
\nMy dear Lord made away;
\nA murderer they save,
\nThe Prince of Life they slay.
\nYet cheerful He
\nTo suff\u2019ring goes
\nThat He His foes
\nFrom thence might free.<\/p>\n
6. In life no house, no home
\nMy Lord on earth might have;
\nIn death no friendly tomb
\nBut what a stranger gave.
\nWhat may I say?
\nHeav\u2019n was His home
\nBut mine the tomb
\nWherein He lay.<\/p>\n
7. Here might I stay and sing,
\nNo story so divine!
\nNever was love, dear King,
\nNever was grief like Thine.
\nThis is my friend,
\nIn whose sweet praise
\nI all my days
\nCould gladly spend!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
