Full Lyrics
REFRAIN
Listen to the pleas of Thy people,
Lord, for we have strayed.
Be merciful upon Your children,
hear our prayers Lord!
VERSE 1
My song is love unknown
my saviour's love to me.
Love to the loveless shown,
that they His love might see.
O! who am I, that for my sake,
my Lord should take frail flesh, and die?
VERSE 2
In life no house, no home,
my Lord on earth might have.
In death no friendly tomb,
but what a stranger gave.
Yet heaven I know is His home,
but mine the tomb wherein He lay.
VERSE 3
Here could I stay and sing,
no story so divine.
Never was love, dear King,
never was grief divine.
This is my friend on whose sweet praise,
in all my days could gladly spend.
