Down in Gethsemane's garden

Jesus knelt to pray

Father let this cup pass from me

Were the words He had to say.

Left his disciples a praying

Three times He went back to see

Each time He found them a sleeping

Could you not watch one hour with me.

His heart was heavy and burdened

He knew it would not be long

That He would become our blood sacrifice

And die on the cross alone.

Down in Gethsemane's garden

Jesus knelt to pray

Father let this cup pass from me

Were the words He had to say.

Upon a stormy afternoon

On the cross at Calvary

Jesus gave His life to save the lost

To set the captive free.

My Lord lay sleeping in the grip of death

Three days in a dark lonely tomb

But on the resurrection morn

Like a rose Jesus did bloom.
