Lyrics
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?
Lord, my Lord should die?
With palms they pave his way and joyous praises sing;
with palms they pave his way, Resounding all the way, Hosannas to the King.
Then "crucify" is all they shout and for his death they thirst and cry.
for his death they cry.
They shout, and then would have my dear Lord made away,
a murderer they save, the prince of life they slay.
Yet steadfast he to suffering goes, that he his foes might free.
I stay, I sing, 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 glad praise I all my days could gladly spend.
