lyrics

My song is love unknown, my Savior’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?
O who am I, that for my sake my Lord should take frail flesh and die?

He came from His blessed 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
But O my Friend, my Friend indeed, who at my need His life did spend

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
This is my Friend, in Whose sweet praise I all my days could gladly spend
This is my Friend, in Whose sweet praise I all my days will gladly spend
