Love Unknown

My song is love unknown my Savior’s love to me. 

Love to the loveless shown,

that they might lovely be.

Oh, who am I that for my sake,

oh, who am I that for my sake

my Lord should take frail flesh and die?

 

He came from heaven’s throne

salvation to bestow;

but they refused, and none

the longed-for Christ would know.

This is my friend, my friend indeed,

this is my friend, my friend indeed,

who at my need, his life did spend.
