Full Lyrics
VERSE 1
To the garden Jesus went, His disciples two
He withdrew from them a stone's throw and knelt down to pray;
As His time was almost spent lo they came to view
Angel bright from God to strengthen Him along the way.
CHORUS
T'was too sacred there for mortal eyes to see
When He prayed Take this cup from me
His disciples all so sleepy seemed to be
For that scene was far too sacred for the eyes to see.
VERSE 2
His disciples fell asleep when the Lord withdrew
They could not behold the beauty of that sacred place;
Tho' they had a watch to keep that they did not do
We believe that eyes of mortals should not see His face.
VERSE 3
Take the Saviour with you friend go aside and pray
He will give you grace to carry every burden here;
He will keep you to the end of this pilgrim way
You may look upon this glory with a vision clear.
