Lyics

MANY woes had Christ endured,

Many sore temptations met;

Patient, and to pains inur'd;

But the sorest trial yet

Was to be sustained in thee,

Gloomy, sad Gethsemane!



Came at length the dreadful hour,

Satan, with his iron rod,

Stood, and with collected power,

Bruised the harmless Lamb of God:

See, my soul, thy Saviour see,

Weeping in Gethsemane.



Haste we to the Lamb of God,

In him there is boundless store;

Seek salvation by his blood:

Praise his name forevermore:

Doleful, dark Gethsemane,

Leads to darker Calvary.



Praise eternal let us sing,

To the everlasting God;

Great deliv'rance to our King,

Comes from his divine abode:

He hath cheer'd Gethsemane,

Conquered death and Calvary.
