Representative Text

1 Beyond where Kedron's waters flow,
Behold the suffering Saviour go,
To sad Gethsemane!
His countenance is all divine,
Yet grief appears in every line.

2 He bows beneath the sins of men,
He cries to God, and cries again,
In sad Gethsemane;
He lifts his mournful eyes above--
My Father! can this cup remove!

3 With gentle resignation still,
He yielded to his Father's will,
In sad Gethsemane;--
Behold me here, thine only Son,
And, Father! let thy will be done.

4 The Father heard,--and angels there
Sustained the Son of God in prayer,
In sad Gethsemane;
He drank the dreadful cup of pain;--
Then rose to life and joy again.

5 When storms of sorrow round us sweep,
And scenes of anguish make us weep,
To sad Gethsemane
We'll look, and see the Saviour there;
Then humbly bow, like him, in prayer.
