A hymn written by Joseph Irons in Zion's Hymns. (in 7s meter)
"Gethsemane"
1. Come, my soul, cast off despair,
To Gethsemane repair,
Hear the suff'ring Surety cry,
"Father, let this cup pass by."
2. Wrath divine upon Him lay, -
All His foll'wers fled away, -
Hear Him utter with a groan,
"Father, let Thy will be done."
3. This was love beyond degree,
Jesus agoniz'd for me,
Bore my guilt - tremendous load!
Sav'd me with His precious blood.
4. Yes, my Saviour suffer'd thus,
To redeem me from the curse;
He has vanquish'd death and hell,
I shall ever with Him dwell.
5. Lord, I take this bread and wine,
Hoping, trusting, Thou art mine -
Living on Thy cov'nant love -
Waiting for Thee from above.
