[Verse 1]
D F#m A Bm
My song is love un-known–
D Bm G
my Savior’s love to me;
F#m Bm
love to the loveless shown,
Bm E A
that they might lovely be.
D C Em G Bm
Oh, who am I, that for my sake
D F#m A7 D
my Lord should take frail flesh and die?
[Verse 2]
D F#m A Bm
He came from His blest throne
D Bm G
sal-vation to be-stow;
F#m Bm
but men made strange, and none
Bm E A
the longed for Christ would know.
D C Em G Bm
But oh, my Friend, my Friend in-deed,
D F#m A7 D
who at my need His life did spend!
[Verse 3]
D F#m A Bm
Sometimes they strew His way,
D Bm G
and His sweet praises sing;
F#m Bm
resounding all the day
Bm E A
hosannas to their King.
D C Em G Bm
Then “Cruci-fy!” is all their breath,
D F#m A7 D
and for His death they thirst and cry.
[Verse 4]
D F#m A Bm
Why, what hath my Lord done?
D Bm G
What makes this rage and spite?
F#m Bm
He made the lame to run;
Bm E A
He gave the blind their sight.
D C Em G Bm
Sweet injur-ies! Yet they at these
D F#m A7 D
themselves displease, and 'gainst Him rise.
[Verse 5]
D F#m A Bm
They rise, and needs will have
D Bm G
my dear Lord made a way.
F#m Bm
A murderer they save;
Bm E A
the Prince of Life they slay.
D C Em G Bm
Yet cheerful He to suff'ring goes,
D F#m A7 D
that He His foes from thence might free.
[Verse 6]
D F#m A Bm
In life, no house, no home
D Bm G
my Lord on earth might have;
F#m Bm
in death, no friendly tomb
Bm E A
but what a stranger gave.
D C Em G Bm
What may I say? Heav'n was His home;
D F#m A7 D
but mine the tomb where-in He lay.
[Verse 7]
D F#m A Bm
Here might I stay and sing–
D Bm G
no story so div-ine!
F#m Bm
Never was love, dear King,
Bm E A
never was grief like Thine.
D C Em G Bm
This is my Friend, in whose sweet praise
D F#m A7 D
I all my days could glad - ly spend
