Lyrics by Samuel Crossman, music by John Ireland

lyrics

V1:
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

V2:
He came from His blest throne
Salvation to bestow
But men 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

V3:
Sometimes they strew His way
And His sweet praises sing
Resounding all the way hosanna’s to their King
Then “crucify” is all their breath
And for His death they thirst and cry

V4:
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

V5:
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
