Gethsemane

Author: Edward Hammond Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #1734 Meter: 7.5.7.5 First Line: My Jesus, I would ne'er forget Refrain First Line: I'll ne'er forget, I'll ne'er forget Lyrics: 1. My Jesus, I would ne’er forget, That hour I spent with Thee; When there I saw Thy bloody sweat In dark Gethsemane. Refrain I’ll ne’er forget, I’ll ne’er forget, I’ll ne’er forgetful be, When there I saw Thy bloody sweat In dark Gethsemane. 2. ’Twas in that olive grove I felt That Thou hadst died for me; Alas, how great I saw my guilt While in Gethsemane. [Refrain] 3. I thought of how Thy heart did throb, While all Thine own did flee, And left Thee with the cruel mob, In sad Gethsemane. [Refrain] 4. ’Twas there I felt my grief and shame In oft forsaking Thee, How precious was Thy very name In dear Gethsemane. [Refrain] 5. Should e’er our love to Thee grow cold, And we forgetful be, We’ll call to mind Thy love untold While in Gethsemane. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: GETHSEMANE (Hull)
