Lyrics
Verse 1
In the Garden, sore oppressed, Jesus uttered this request: Father, if it so may be, Let this cup depart from me!
Verse 2
Judas, now, with traitor kiss, Gives Him to His enemies! See that wild and noisy crowd, They will kill the Son of God!
Verse 3
Now, the Jewish council try, And resolve that He shall die! He, of witness false, the prey, Is, to Pilate, led away!
Verse 4
Robe and crown, in mockery, And the taunting soldiers, see! See Him, now, on calv’ry’s road, Sinking ‘neath His heavy load!
Verse 5
View Him, now, upon the cross, Us to save from endless loss! Dying, there, upon the tree– Dying, there for you and me!
Chorus
In the garden, how He moaned, Weeping, there, so bitterly! Yet, the awful cup, would drink, For you and me!
