(\'There is a green hill far away\')
Luke 22 v.39-46
**********
Jesus came to Gethsemane
His soul heavy it be
Said to disciples, Here do stay
In garden, watch and pray
Pray, so you not enter into
Temptations old or new
Then He a little way off went
To pray was His intent
Saying, Father, if you willing
Remove my suffering
But not what I will, but what you
Will be done, ever true
An angel then to Him appeared
From heaven , His soul seared
Angel did Him strengthen, that He
Freshly emboldened be
In an agony, He prayed more
Earnestly, and for sure
His sweat was as great drops of blood
An over-spilling flood
Then after, still disciples slept
Had not their vigil kept
For human tiredness and sorrow
In garden they did know
Lord, who for me brought salvation
Died, then rose for each one
Help us pray, wake, not sleep, so we
Shall from temptation flee
