Song language: English
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 |
