Dark Was the Night / Cold Was the Ground |
Dark was the night, and cold the ground |
On which the Lord was laid |
His sweat like drops of blood ran down |
In agony he prayed |
«Father, remove this bitter cup |
If such Thy sacred will |
If not, content to drink it up |
Thy pleasure I fulfill» |
Go to the garden, sinner, see |
Those precious drops that flow |
The heavy load He bore for thee |
For thee he lies so low |
Then learn of Him the cross to bear |
Thy Father’s will obey |
And when temptations press thee near |
Awake to watch and pray |
