Hymn 304
Dark was the night and cold the ground
1
Dark was the night and cold the ground
Where Jesus Christ knelt down
His sweat was like great drops of blood
In deep prevailing prayers.
2
Father let this cup pass from me
Thy will be done not mine
If it not be so I will drink
Thy will be done not mine.
3
Sinner, go see him in the court
Stained with His Holy blood
He bore the heavy load for you
In deep humility.
4
Do learn to bear the cross of shame
Do the Fathers good will
Then when temptation’s very close
Wake up and watch and pray.
