Gethsemane Gathering

orchidee



Tune: Crucifer

('Lift high the cross')

Luke 22 v.39-46

*********

Chorus

Gethsemane, the way unto the cross

Jesus would suffer to redeem man's loss

 

Disciples with Him in the garden stayed

Spirits willing, yet flesh tiredness displayed - Chorus

 

Jesus said, Pray here, so that you not fall

Into temptation, nor your journey stall - Chorus

 

He went little way from them and did pray

Father, remove this cup [of suffering] if it be your way - Chorus

 

Nevertheless not what I will, but your

Will be done, grant me strength to obey sure - Chorus

 

An angel strengthened Him, He did sweat blood

In agony, yet for us a cleansing flood - Chorus

 

Lord, help us pray, that sleep us not o'ercome

Progressing each day to our heavenly home - Chorus

        Thanks Christina. I wanted to remember. Shame on some places, that must have 'Choruses' yet again, 52 weeks of the year! Half of them seem to clear off at Christmas and Easter.

          Beautiful Orchi absolutely beautiful

          • orchidee

            Thanks Blue. As I said to Christina above, it's a bit 'ropey' at some places, who hardly know what a hymn book is! Can't get the staff these days?!
