1 To the garden Jesus went, His disciples too,
He withdrew from them a stone's throw And knelt down to pray;
As His time was almost spent, Lo there came to view,
Angel bright from God to strengthen Him along the way.

Refrain:
'Twas too sacred there, For eyes to see,
When He prayed "Take this cup from me;"
His disciples all, Too sleepy be
For that scene For their eyes to see.

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. [Refrain]

3 Take the Savior with you, friend, Go aside and pray,
He will give you grace to carry Ev'ry burden here;
he will keep you to the end Of this pilgrim way,
you may look upon His glory With a vision clear. [Refrain]
