Jesus, while he dwelt below,
As divine historians say,
To a place would often go,
Near to Kedron�s brook that lay:
In this place he loved to be,
And �t was named Gethsemane.
�T was a garden, as we read,
At the foot of Olivet,
Love and proper to be made
The Redeemer�s lone retreat:
When from noise he would be free,
Then he sought Gethsemane.
Thither, by their master brought,
His disciples likewise came;
There the heavenly likewise came;
Often set their hearts on flame:
Therefore they, as well as he,
Visited Gethsemane.
Oft conversing here they sat;
Or might join with Christ in prayer;
O, what blest devotion that,
When the Lord himself is there!
All things there did so agree
To endear Gethsemane.
Full of love to man�s lost race,
On the conflict much he thought;
This he knew the destined place,
And he loved the sacred spot:
Therefore Jesus chose to be
Often in Gethsemane.
