Gethsemane Hymn

Verse 1

To see the King of heaven fall

In anguish to His knees

The Light and Hope of all the world

Now overwhelmed with grief

What nameless horrors must He see

To cry out in the garden

Oh take this cup away from Me

Yet not My will but Yours

Yet not My will but Yours

Verse 2

To know each friend will fall away

And heaven's voice be still

For hell to have its vengeful day

Upon Golgotha's hill

No words describe the Saviour's plight

To be by God forsaken

Till wrath and love are satisfied

And every sin is paid

And every sin is paid

Verse 3

What took Him to this wretched place

What kept Him on this road

His love for Adam's curséd race

For every broken soul

No sin too slight to overlook

No crime too great to carry

All mingled in this poisoned cup

And yet He drank it all

The Saviour drank it all

The Saviour drank it all
