20 Hymns for Holy Week

My Song Is Love Unknown (LOVE UNKNOWN)
Samuel Crossman, 1664

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?

Alas! and Did My Savior Bleed (MARTYRDOM)
Isaac Watts, 1707

Well might the sun in darkness hide
And shut his glories in,
When God, the mighty Maker died
For man the creature’s sin.

King of My Life, I Crown Thee Now (DUNCANNON)
Jennie E. Hussey, 1921

May I be willing, Lord, to bear
Daily my cross for thee;
Even thy cup of grief to share,
Thou hast borne all for me.

“Man of Sorrows,” What a Name (HALLELUJAH! WHAT A SAVIOR!)
Philip P. Bliss, 1875

Lifted up was he to die,
“It is finished,” was his cry;
Now in heaven exalted high;
Hallelujah! what a Savior!

When I Survey the Wondrous Cross (HAMBURG)
Isaac Watts, 1707

Were the whole realm of nature mine,
That were a present far too small;
Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my soul, my life, my all.
