“Tarry here and watch with me” -Matt. 26:38
1 Dark was the night and cold the ground
Where Jesus Christ knelt down
His sweat was like great drops of blood
In deep prevailing prayers.
2 “Father, let this cup pass from me”
Thy will be done not mine.
If it be not so, I will drink
Thy will be done, not mine.
3 Sinner, go see Him in the court
Stained with His holy blood
He bore the heavy load for you
In deep humility.
4 Do, learn to bear the cross of shame
Do the Father’s good will
Then when temptation’s very close,
Wake up and watch and pray.
