        My song is love unknown;                                O the bitter shame and sorrow,
        My Saviour's love to me;                                That a time could ever be,
        Love to the loveless shown, That they might             When I let the Savior‟s pity
        lovely be.                                              Plead in vain, and proudly answered,
        O who am I                                              “All of self, and none of Thee!”
        That for my sake,                                       “All of self, and none of Thee!”   1/4
        My Lord should take
        Frail flesh, and die?  1/5                              Verse 2
                                                                Yet He found me; I beheld Him
        Verse 2 He came from his blest throne,                  Bleeding on th‟accursèd tree,
        Salvation to bestow:                                    Heard Him pray, “Forgive them, Father!”
        But men made strange, and none  The longed-             And my wistful heart said faintly,
        for Christ would know. But O my Friend!                 “Some of self, and some of Thee!”
        My friend indeed,                                       “Some of self, and some of Thee!”  2/4
        Who at my need
        His life did spend.  2/5                                Verse 3
                                                                Day by day His tender mercy,
        Verse 3                                                 Healing, helping, full and free,
        Sometimes they strew his way,                           Sweet and strong, and ah! so patient,
        And His sweet praises sing; Resounding all the          Brought me lower, while I whispered,
        day,  Hosannas to their king.  Then : Crucify!          “Less of self, and more of Thee!”
        Is all their breath,                                    “Less of self, and more of Thee!”   3/4
        And for his death
        They thirst and cry.  3/5                               Verse 4
                                                                Higher than the highest heavens,
        Verse 6                                                 Deeper than the deepest sea,
        In life, no house, no home                              Lord, Thy love at last hath conquered:
        My Lord on earth might have; In death, no               Grant me now my supplication,
        friendly tomb But what a stranger gave. What            “None of self, and all of Thee!”
        may I say?                                              “None of self, and all of Thee!” Amen.   4/4
        Heav'n was His home;                                    HOME
        But mine the tomb                                       092 Redeemed
        Wherein He lay.  4/5

        Verse 7                                                 Redeemed, by the precious blood of the lamb,
        Here might I stay and sing,                             Redeemed, by the touch of the Saviour's hand,
        No story so divine; Never was love, dear King,          Redeemed, we were saved and santified,
        Never was grief like Thine.                             Redeemed, Allelula, Redeemed!  1/4

        This is my Friend,
        In whose sweet praise                                   Verse 2
