Gethsemane Graces

Tune: Love Unknown

(\'My song is love unknown\')

Luke 22 v.39-46

********

Stay, stay a while and pray

It be dark, not light day

Pray with Jesus, in His hour

Though bitter and sour

Here in Gethsemane\'s garden

He holds destiny of all men (mankind)

 

For the spirit it be

Willing to progress free

But flesh it be weak, so

Hindrance our spirits know

Pray one hour with me, He pleads

Here be my time of true great needs

 

But no, they sleepy were

Did not with Him concur

For disciples did tire

Dim burnt their holy fire

The call was, \'Watch and pray, lest you

Fall into temptation anew\'

 

There in His agony

Christ sweat His blood for me

In garden prayed, so be

Father, if willing, see

This cup of suffering, and take

It from me, another way make

 

But nevertheless not

My will, but yours my lot

Your will be done, my choice

To e\'er obey your voice

Then angels strengthened Him in power

As He went through harrowing hour

 

Lord, help us your will know

Where easy or hard, so

We trust in you, your way

To be our way each day

Strengthen us too, where faith be small

By your Spirit we prevail all
