Today’s hymn sung
by St Martins in the Fields is: My Song is Love Unknown,
sung by St Martin’s Voices
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?
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.
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.
4 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 suffering goes,
that He His foes
from thence might free.
5 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.
Samuel Crossman (1623-1683)
