Sheet music
- 1When my love to Christ grows weak,When for deeper faith I seek,Then in tho’t I go to Thee,Garden of Gethsemane!There I walk amid the shades,While the ling’ring twilight fades,See that suff’ring, friendless One,Weeping, praying there alone.
- 2When my love for man grows weak,When for stronger faith I seek,Hill of Calvary! I goTo thy scenes of fear and woe.There behold His agony,Suffered on the bitter tree;See His anguish, see His faithLove triumphant still in death.
- 3Then to life I turn again,Learning all the worth of pain,Learning all the might that liesIn a full self-sacrifice.
