- 1Oh, 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.Oh, what love,(Oh, what love,) matchless love,(matchless love,)Oh, what love for me was shown!(Oh, what love for me was shone!)His forever I will be,For the love He gave to me,When He suffered all alone.
- 2"Tarry here," He told the three,"Tarry here and watch for Me,“But they heard no bitter moan;For the three disciples sleptWhile my loving Savior weptIn Gethsemane, alone.Oh, what love,(Oh, what love,) matchless love,(matchless love,)Oh, what love for me was shown!(Oh, what love for me was shone!)His forever I will be,For the love He gave to me,When He suffered all alone.
- 3Long in anguish deep was He,Weeping there for you and me,For our sin to Him was known;We should love Him evermoreFor the anguish that He boreIn Gethsemane, alone.Oh, what love,(Oh, what love,) matchless love,(matchless love,)Oh, what love for me was shown!(Oh, what love for me was shone!)His forever I will be,For the love He gave to me,When He suffered all alone.
