GETHSEMANE--- CALVARY

CLIFFORD A RUSSELL

IT WAS FOR THEE, IT WAS FOR ME,

HE SUFFERED IN GETHSEMANE;

OH, WOULD THAT WE MIGHT FEEL AND SEE

HIS SUFFERING AND HIS AGONY;

OH THAT WE MIGHT HEAR AGAIN

THAT AGONIZING CRY OF PAIN,

AS FROM THE RED PORES THE RED LIFE FLOWED,

CRUSHED ‘NEATH OUR SINS, THE AWFUL LOAD.

IT WAS FOR THEE, IT WAS FOR ME,

HE BORE IT ALL FOR THEE AND ME.
