Come Down, O Love Divine

Author: Bianco da Siena, d. 1434; Richard F. Littledale, 1833-1890 Hymnal: JS2012 #438 (2012) Meter: 6.6.11 D Lyrics: 1 Come down, O Love divine, Seek thou this soul of mine, And visit it with thine own ardor glowing; O Comforter, draw near, Within my heart appear, And kindle it, thy holy flame bestowing. 2 O let it freely burn, Till earthly passions turn To dust and ashes in its heat consuming; And let thy glorious light Shine ever on my sight, And clothe me round, the while my path illuming. 3 And so the yearning strong, With which the soul will long, Shall far outpass the pow'r of human telling; For none can guess it's grace, Till we become the place Wherein the Holy Spirit makes a dwelling.

My Song Is Love Unknown

Author: Samuel Crossman, ca. 1624-1683 Hymnal: JS2012 #390 (2012) Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.4.4 Lyrics: 1 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? 2 He came from his blest throne Salvation to bestow, But all made strange, and none The longed-for Christ would know. But O my friend, My friend indeed, Who at my need His life did spend! 3 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. 4 Why, what hath 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 these Themselves displease, And 'gainst him rise. 5 They rise and needs will have My dear Lord made a way; A murderer they save, The Prince of Life they slay. Yet steadfast he To suff'ring goes, That he his foes From thence might free. 6 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 home; But mine the tomb Wherein he lay. 7 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 praise I all my days Could gladly spend.

Awake, my soul, and sing Of him who set us free, And hail him as your heav'nly King Through all eternity. 2 Crown him the Lord of life, Who triumphed o'er the grave, And rose victorious in the strife For those he came to save. His glories now we sing, Who died and rose on high, Who died, eternal life to bring, And lives that death may die. 3 Crown him the Lord of love, Behold his hands and side, Rich wounds yet visible above In beauty glorified. No angel in the sky Can fully bear that sight, But downward bends his burning eye At mysteries so bright. 4 Crown him the Lord of peace, Whose pow'r a scepter sways From pole to pole, that wars may cease, Absorbed in prayer and praise. His reign shall know no end, And round his pierced feet Fair flow'rs of Paradise extend Their fragrance ever sweet. 5 Crown him the Lord of years, The risen Lord sublime, Creator of the rolling spheres, The Master of all time. All hail, Redeemer, hail! For you have died for me; Your praise and glory shall not fail Throughout eternity.
