Verse 1
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?
Verse 2
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
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
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
