“Thewhiterabbit” was so eager to request this hymn last night, he forgot to give me the title: an oversight soon rectified, no harm done. This is the King’s College Choir, at Cambridge, singing My Song is Love Unknown. Let me see if I can post the lyrics for you.

My Song Is Love Unknown
John Ireland
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?
He came from His blest throne
Salvation to bestow;
But men made strange, and none
The longed-for Christ would know:
But oh, my Friend,
My Friend indeed,
Who at my need
His life did spend.
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.
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.
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
It’s the truth that King Jesus is our Friend – how awesome is that!!
It’s the most awesome thing in the world!
