My song is love unknown, my Savior's love to me
FCsus2FBb/FC7/FF
Love to the loveless shown, that they might lovely be
F2BbFCsus2C
Oh, who am I that for my sake,
BbC/BbC
Oh, who am I that for my sake,
FBbFC7F
My Lord should take frail flesh and die?
FCsus2FBb/FC7/FF
He came from heaven's throne salvation to bestow
FCsus2FBb/FC7/FF
But they refused and none the longed-for Christ would know
F2BbFCsus2C
This is my friend, my friend indeed,
BbC/BbC
This is my friend, my friend indeed,
FBbFC7F
Who at my need, His life did spend.
FCsus2FBb/FC7/FF
Sometimes they crowd His way and His sweet praises sing
FCsus2FBb/FC7/FF
Resounding all the day, hosannas to their King
F2BbFCsus2C
Then, "Crucify!" is all their breath,
BbC/BbC
Then, "Crucify!" is all their breath,
FBbC7F
And for His death they thirst and cry.
FCsus2FBb/FC7/FF
Why, what has my Lord done to cause this rage and spite
FCsus2FBb/FC7/FF
He made the lame to run, and gave the blind their sight
F2BbFCsus2C
What injuries, yet these are why,
BbC/BbC
What injuries, yet these are why,
FBbFC7F
The Lord Most High so cruelly dies.
FCsus2FBb/FC7/FF
With angry shouts they have my dear Lord done away
FCsus2FBb/FC7/FFA murderer they save, the Prince of Life they slay
F2BbFCsus2C
Yet willingly, He bears the shame,
BbC/BbC
Yet willingly, He bears the shame,
FBbFC7F
That through His name all might be free.
FCsus2FBb/FC7/FF
Here might I stay and sing of Him my soul adores
FCsus2FBb/FC7/FF
Never was love, dear King, never was grief like Yours
F2BbFCsus2C
This is my friend in whose sweet praise,
BbC/BbC
This is my friend in whose sweet praise,
FBbFC7F
I, all my days would gladly spend.
