To the silent garden came Jesus with His disciples To the garden of Gethsemane Said He then, Sit ye here Yonder will I go to pray Tarry here and watch with me one hour In dark Gethsemane, there prayed the Son of God Who said, "Thy will be done," and dared receive the bitter cup And He, the sinless One, suffered all for sinful man And His grief and pain It was for me In dark Gethsemane Said He then, The hour is come He is near who betrayeth me Betrayeth me into the sinners' hands Taken, mocked, crowned with thorns Left alone and forsaken Left alone the heavy cross He bore Along the weary road, the way to Calvary There walked the Lord of all By death to heal the wounded heart And save the anguished soul For the love of man to die And the cross He bore It was for me The cross of Calvary In dark Gethsemane The cross at Calvary There won the Lord of all the victory o'er death and hell Transgression's captive freed by the sacrifice of love And the price He paid so willingly It was for me It was for me.
