LYRICS:
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 sakeMy Lord should take Frail flesh and die?
He came from his blest throne Salvation to bestow,But such disdain! So few 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.
Why? What has my Lord done? What makes this rage and spite?He made the lame to run; He gave the blind their sight.Sweet injuries! Yet they at theseThemselves displease And 'gainst him rise.
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 suff'ring goesThat he his foes From death might free.
In life no house, no home My Lord on earth might have;In death no friendly tomb But what a stranger gave.What may I say? Heav'n was his homeBut mine the tomb Wherein he lay.
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 praiseI all my days Could gladly spend!

This is one of the greatest songs ever. And you guys did a great job with it. Thank you.
Oh my friend.....MY FRIEND INDEED!
When I first sang this hymn at my junior school and something about the song stirred my heart and I would often feel like crying though I never understood why until years later when I came to know the Lord Jesus Christ. Then I understood that it was the story of Our Lord Jesus. The Holy Spirit inspired the Samuel Crossman to pen this hymn, so we could be drawn by its words and seek the one who is honoured in it.
Thank you Koine for sharing such a beautiful rendition of it! ❤️✝️🕊
What a wonderful presentation of this wonderful hymn. Could go around my head all day! Emotional, longing, grateful, telling - lovely!
Beautiful Lenten song! Adding it to my new playlist. Thank you.
Beautiful
How wonderful to hear such a precious old hymn revived in this beautiful way! ...so much better than what passes as 'worship' in many churches today! The Gospel in a song. Thank you
Thanks Gordon. We've got plenty more hymn arrangements on our channel. We've been arranging and recording hymns for over a decade.
This is one of my favorite Lenten hymns. Koine did a nice job with it.
very well done, a favorite hymn for sure. Thanks Koine.
*Love* this version of one of my all time favourite hymns - but PLEASE would you record a full version for this Easter with all seven verses (as in the Wikipedia entry)? It’s such an amazing poem, and we’re missing lines like ‘Heav’n was his throne, but mine the tomb wherein he lay’ - so much more beautiful truth for prayer and worship!
Thank you. This has been my favorite hymn since I was very little. This song was done very beautifully!! Thank you very much for this.
Love this hymn. Would it be okay if we use the audio part of this in our elderly and church worship services here at Community Lutheran WELS in Hawaii?
Thank you Jesus!
This is my favourite hymn and done so well. I particularly enjoy the scriptures interspersed through the video. An added dimension to aid worship. Thank you Koine.
Hi
I really enjoy your music, Koine!
A thought at 1:20: In the Lutheran Service Book, it says "But men made strange, and none The longed-for Christ would know." Why the change in lyrics? It seems to me that no one knew Jesus for who He really is at that time because even His disciples denied that He would die.
Interesting. We used Christian Worship - A Lutheran Hymnal when we arranged this song. The lyrics we use are as printed in that particular hymnal. I'm not sure why the lyrics would be different.
The Lutheran Service Book is LCMS. Is your hymnal from WELS? I guess the difference in Synods is the reason. What's your take?
It is a WELS publication. I’m not sure why that line was changed.
