In Gethsemane Alone

1  

Oh, what wondrous love I see,  

Freely shown for you and me,  

By the One Who did atone!  

Just to show His matchless grace,  

Jesus suffered for the race,  

In Gethsemane, alone.  

2  

“Tarry here,” He told the three,  

“Tarry here and watch for Me,”  

But they heard no bitter moan;  

For the three disciples slept  

While my loving Savior wept  

In Gethsemane, alone.  

3  

Long in anguish deep was He,  

Weeping there for you and me,  

For our sin to Him was known;  

We should love Him evermore  

For the anguish that He bore  

In Gethsemane, alone.    

Refrain:  

Oh, what love, matchless love,  

Oh, what love for me was shown!  

His forever I will be,  

For the love He gave to me,  

When He suffered all alone.

Here's a little different twist to this old song... The background singers are singing it as written, the same way we sang it in church.

Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder. ~Matthew 26:36

Matthew 26:36 

Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder. 37 And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy. 38 Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me. 39 And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt. 40 And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour? 41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. 42 He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done. 43 And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy. 44 And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words. 45 Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
