My Song is Love Unknown | Christian Song Lyrics | Yeshu Geets

 Verse 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

My Lord should take frail flesh and die?

Verse 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!

Verse 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.

Verse 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.

Verse 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 suff'ring goes,

That He His foes from thence might free.

Verse 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? Heav'n was His home;

But mine the tomb wherein He lay.

Verse 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.
