When skies are bright and hearts are
And not cloud obscures the sight;
Yet ever near-so near 1t lies ~
garden we must some time see
The Garden of Gethsemane!
With flying feet we go our way
So thoughtless. debonair. and gay;
Nor care nor sorrow mars our JOY,
we coin life's gold without alloy;
We hurry on, and hurrying go
That waits for You. and waits for me
That waits for all-Gethsemane!
Then let us bravely face our fate
| Though comes it soon or comes it late.
His trials. so exceeding sorei
Prone on the earth He drained the cup
st Gn ot dmGea Angels 1g there tnG may bem
To help us bear-Gethsemane!
