Tune: Crucifer
('Lift high the cross')
Luke 22 v.39-46
**********
Chorus
Rise and pray, lest you fall in temptation
Sleep not, but pray, and so God's will be done
Jesus went out to the mount Olivet
His disciples went with Him, followed yet - Chorus
When at the garden of Gethsemane
He said, Pray and keep watch a while with me - Chorus
So you shall not enter in temptation
Then He went a short way from them, God's Son - Chorus
He kneeled and prayed, saying, Father, if you
Will remove this cup of suffering, do - Chorus
Nevertheless not my will but yours be
Done, then an angel strengthened Him wholly - Chorus
In agony He prayed more earnestly
Seated great drops of blood to the ground He - Chorus
When rising from prayer He disciples found
Weary and sad they were sleeping all sound - Chorus

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem with verses and chorus in 10.10. format. Note: In some Gospels it says that Jesus prayed the same words of this prayer three times in a row in the garden of Gethsemane. He says to pray so that we do not fall into temptations. To pray 'Lead us not into temptation' can be a prayer in itself too.

Thank you N.
You can never rely on even close friends. A wonderful hymn Orchi it carries spiritual and non spiritual messages. Nicely done
