54. 'Neath the Old Olive Trees

1 'Neath the stars of the night
Walked the Saviour of light,
In the garden of dew-ladened breeze;
Where no light could be found,
Jesus knelt on the ground,
There He prayed 'neach the old olive trees.

Refrain:
'Neath the old olive trees,
'Neath the old olive trees,
Went the Saviour alone on His knees:
"Not My sill, Thine be done,"
Cried the Father's own Son,
As He knelt 'neath the old olive trees.

2 All the sin of the world
On the Saviour was hurled,
As he knelt in the garden alone;
Hear His soul-burdened plea,
Let this cup pass from Me,
"Even so, not My will, Thine be done." [Refrain]

3 My my song ever be
Of the love proffered me,
By my Lord all alone on His knees:
Praise His wonderful name,
He who bore all my blame,
As He knelt 'neath the old olive trees. [Refrain]
