Gethsemane Songtext
von Carl Smith

On a hillside so lonely knelt Jesus one day
So wounded and weary He went there to pray
By friends there forsaken so lonely He feels
To heaven He′s crying in helpless appeal


But a golden day has broken in old Gethsemane
The mournings all come singing the songs of victory
There's a new highway to glory the road that Jesus trod
With a halo we′re traveling the pathway to God

On the hillside and garden such suffering I see
In humble submission He's making His plea
His bloodstreams are bursting come sinner be true
His cheeks are stained crimson for me and for you
