“My Song Is Love Unknown”

“My Song is Love Unknown” is a hymn written by Samuel Crossman, an Anglican clergyman and poet, in the 17th century. Crossman was born in 1624 and studied at Pembroke College, Cambridge. He later became a fellow of the college and was ordained as a priest in the Church of England.

The hymn was first published in Crossman’s collection of poetry titled “The Young Man’s Meditations” in 1664. It is believed that Crossman wrote this hymn as a reflection on the mystery of God’s love revealed in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The hymn beautifully captures the essence of Christ’s sacrificial love and the profound impact it has on believers.

The text of “My Song is Love Unknown” consists of nine stanzas, each exploring different aspects of Christ’s love, from His humble birth to His agonizing death on the cross. It invites listeners to contemplate the depth of God’s love as demonstrated in Jesus’ willingness to suffer and die for humanity’s redemption.

The hymn has endured through the centuries and remains a beloved part of Christian worship, particularly during the Lenten season when the themes of Christ’s passion and sacrifice are central. The melody most commonly associated with “My Song is Love Unknown” was composed by John Ireland, a British composer, in the early 20th century. Ireland’s hauntingly beautiful melody perfectly complements Crossman’s poignant lyrics, making the hymn a powerful expression of faith and devotion.

“Port Meadow is absolutely beautiful and a wonderful place to swim. We often swim in a different spot from other open water swimming groups in order to create a more relaxed environment – especially for our beginners. We do special beginners swims on Saturdays, to ease new members into the practise slowly and very carefully.

Safety is paramount, so I’ll walk them in to the water and they can immerse themselves as much as they want. We never allow anyone to jump or dive into cold water – the shock can cause a swimmer to gulp for air and subsequently ingest water; it’s always a gentle process.” — Ellie

Roger Scruton Memorial Lectures

“Stand up for your friends especially when they’re right.  There is every reason in the world to do so but one is not obvious — although perhaps it should be — and it’s this:  it might be the only chance you get to show them how much they mean to you if you don’t seize this opportunity whenever it comes along. 

To save the truth of your feelings for their funeral or obituaries it’s not much use to anyone then but if you defend if you if you defend a friend while they’re alive you might just give them the slightest intimation of how much you value them and love them and how much other people love them too…”

Douglas Murray

 

Evensong “Boreas Blows Not”

Sir Roger Scruton, a British philosopher, writer, and commentator, was knighted in 2016 for his services to philosophy, teaching, and public education. His knighthood was in recognition of his significant contributions to philosophy and his dedication to fostering public understanding of important philosophical and cultural issues.

Scruton was a prolific author and philosopher who wrote extensively on a wide range of topics, including aesthetics, ethics, politics, and culture. He published numerous books and articles that engaged with important philosophical questions and contributed to the broader intellectual discourse.

In addition to his scholarly work, Scruton was known for his efforts to make philosophy and conservative thought more accessible to the general public. He often participated in public debates, wrote for popular publications, and appeared in various media outlets to discuss and defend his conservative views.

While Scruton’s knighthood was awarded primarily for his contributions to philosophy and education, it also acknowledged his role as a public intellectual who played a significant part in shaping public discourse on important issues in the United Kingdom and beyond.
