Love to the loveless shown
Esus4 E7 A
That they might love – ly be
D C Em G Bm
O who am I, that for my sake
A D A7 D
My Lord should take frail flesh, and die
Verse 2:
He came from His blest throne
Salvation to bestow
But men made strange, and none
The longed-for Christ would know
But oh, my Friend, my Friend indeed
Who, at my need His life
did spend
Verse 3:
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
Verse 4:
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
