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.
Safet Zec, Deposition, detail, 2014. Lines from the Lauds hymn for Lent, Love Unknown by John Ireland.
