+ 1 + My Song Is Love Unknown 430

6 In life no house, no home 7 Here might I stay and sing, My Lord on earth might have; No story so divine! In death no friendly tomb Never was love, dear King, But what a stranger gave. Never was grief like Thine. What may I say? This is my friend, Heav’n was His home In whose sweet praise But mine the tomb I all my days Wherein He lay. Could gladly spend!

+ 3 + Christ, the Life of All the Living 420 sts. 5–7 5 Thou hast suffered men to bruise Thee, That from pain I might be free; Falsely did Thy foes accuse Thee: Thence I gain security; Comfortless Thy soul did languish Me to comfort in my anguish. Thousand, thousand thanks shall be, Dearest Jesus, unto Thee.

6 Thou hast suffered great affliction And hast borne it patiently, Even death by crucifixion, Fully to atone for me; Thou didst choose to be tormented That my doom should be prevented. Thousand, thousand thanks shall be, Dearest Jesus, unto Thee.

7 Then, for all that wrought my pardon, For Thy sorrows deep and sore, For Thine anguish in the Garden, I will thank Thee evermore, Thank Thee for Thy groaning, sighing, For Thy bleeding and Thy dying, For that last triumphant cry, And shall praise Thee, Lord, on high.
