RCCG Hymn 154
Dark Was the Night and Cold the Ground
"Tarry here and watch with me." - Matt 26:38
1
Dark was the night and cold the ground Where Jesus Christ knelt down His sweat was like great drops of blood In deep prevailing prayers.
2
'Father, let this cup pass from me' Thy will be done not mine. If it be not so, I will drink Thy will be done, not mine.
3
Sinner, go see Him in the court Stained with His holy blood He bore the heavy load for you In deep humility.
4
Do, learn to bear the cross of shame Do the Father's good will Then when temptation's very close, Wake up and watch and pray.
