There's a home beyond the river Where the saints shall live forever In a home, that blessed home of the free T'was prepared for habitation At the end of our salvation Through the cross that stood on dark Calvary Jesus went into the garden And he prayed unto the Father Oh my God, let this cup pass from me The disciples all were sleeping While the son of God was weeping In the garden of Gethsemane In a garden close to Heaven All our sins were then forgiven When our Saviour redeemed us from loss Our dear Lord in pain and sorrow Gave us all our hope tomorrow Dying there upon the old rugged cross Jesus went into the garden And he prayed unto the Father Oh my God, let this cup pass from me The disciples all were sleeping While the son of God was weeping In the garden of Gethsemane Tears of anguish mark the ending Of a life of service sending Hope to every soul trusting His love Dying there in isolation Jesus gave the consolation That we'll meet him in those mansions above Jesus went into the garden And he prayed unto the Father Oh my God, let this cup pass from me The disciples all were sleeping While the son of God was weeping In the garden of Gethsemane
