Hymnal: A Book of Hymns for Public and Private Devotion (15th ed.) #144 (1866) Hymnal Title: A Book of Hymns for Public and Private Devotion (15th ed.) First Line: When my love to Christ grows weak Lyrics:
When my love to Christ grows weak,
When for deeper faith I seek,
Then in thought I go to thee,
Garden of Gethsemane!
There I walk amid the shades,
While the lingering twilight fades,
See that suffering, friendless One
Weeping, praying there alone.
When my love for Christ grows weak,
When for stronger faith I seek,
Hill of Calvary! I go
To thy scenes of fear and woe;—
There behold his agony,
Suffered on the bitter tree;
See his anguish, see his faith;
Love triumphant still in death.
Then to life I turn again,
Learning all the worth of pain,
Learning all the might that lies
In a full self-sacrifice.
