A Beautiful Prayer

Author: Luther G. Presley Hymnal: Melodies of Love #46 First Line: In the Bible we read of a beautiful pray'r Refrain First Line: When the Savior was praying Lyrics: 1 In the bible [sic] we read of a beautiful pray'r, A pray'r sent to heaven above; it was prayed by a heart that was laden with care, And filled with such wonderful love. Refrain: When the Savior was praying, In the garden of Gethsemane, He said, "loving Father, let his cup pass from me;" I know He was thinking Of the anguish death would bring to His own How deep was His sorrow When Jesus was praying alone. 2 You can catch the sad tone of His voice as he said, "Thy will not my own must be done;" As a lamb to the slaughter He soon must be led To die as the Crucified One. [Refrain] 3 As he prayed there alone in such deep agony, It was a most beautiful pray'r; Just to think His great heart was all broken for me, That He may great sorrow must share.
