The Crucifixion
The Agony
Could ye not watch with me one brief hour?
Could ye not pity my sorest need
Ah! If ye sleep while the temp-est lower
Surely, my friends, I am lone indeed
Jesu, Lord Jesu,
Bowed in bitter anguish
And bearing all the evil we have done
Oh teach us
Teach us how to love thee for thy love
Help us to pray
And watch
And mourn with thee
Could ye not watch with me one brief hour?
Did ye not say upon Kedron's slope
Ye would not fall into the tempest power
Did ye not murmur great words of hope?
Jesu, Lord Jesu,
Bowed in bitter anguish
And bearing all the evil we have done
Oh teach us
Teach us how to love thee for thy love
Help us to pray
And watch
And mourn with thee
Could ye not watch with me?
Even so;
Willing in heart but the flesh is vain
Back to mine agony
I must go
Lonely to pray in bitterest pain
Could ye not pity my sorest need
Ah! If ye sleep while the temp-est lower
Surely, my friends, I am lone indeed
Jesu, Lord Jesu,
Bowed in bitter anguish
And bearing all the evil we have done
Oh teach us
Teach us how to love thee for thy love
Help us to pray
And watch
And mourn with thee
Could ye not watch with me one brief hour?
Did ye not say upon Kedron's slope
Ye would not fall into the tempest power
Did ye not murmur great words of hope?
Jesu, Lord Jesu,
Bowed in bitter anguish
And bearing all the evil we have done
Oh teach us
Teach us how to love thee for thy love
Help us to pray
And watch
And mourn with thee
Could ye not watch with me?
Even so;
Willing in heart but the flesh is vain
Back to mine agony
I must go
Lonely to pray in bitterest pain
