Our Savior would linger in moonlight’s soft beam,
And by thy bright waters, till midnight would stay,
And lose in thy murmurs the toils of the day.
Refrain
Come saints and adore Him, come bow at His feet,
O give Him the glory and praise that is meet,
Let joyful hosannas unceasing arise,
And join the full chorus that gladdens the skies.
2. How damp were the vapors that fell on His head,
How hard was His pillow, how humble His bed,
The angels beholding, amazed at the sight,
Attended their master with solemn delight. [Refrain]
3. O garden of Olives, thou dear honored spot,
The fame of thy wonders shall ne’er be forgot,
The theme most transporting to seraphs above,
The triumph of sorrow, the triumph of love. [Refrain] Used With Tune: AFTON

1.
Thou sweet gliding Kedron, by thy silver stream
Our Savior at midnight, when moonlight's pale beam
Shone bright on thy waters, would frequently stray,
And lose in thy murmurs the toils of the day.
2.
How damp were the vapors that fell on his head!
How hard was his pillow! how humble his bed!
The angels, astonished, grew sad at the sight,
And followed their Master with solemn delight.
3.
O garden of Olivet, dear honored spot!
The fame of thy wonder shall ne'er be forgot;
The theme most transporting to seraphs above,
The triumph of sorrow, the triumph of love.
4.
Come, saints and adore him; come, bow at his feet!
Oh, give him the glory, the praise that is meet;
Let joyful hosannas unceasingly rise,
And join the full chorus that gladdens the skies.

Person Name: Anon. Composer of "HUNTINGTON" in Melodies of Zion In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
