Down in the Garden

Author: W. H. L. Meter: 8.6.8.6.10.10.8.7.7 Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 26:36 First Line: Hushed by the shadows dark and drear Refrain First Line: Down in the garden hear the mournful sound Lyrics: 1 Hushed by the shadows dark and drear, The feathered songsters rest; All earth in slumber doth appear, But Christ, earth’s heav’nly Guest. Refrain: Down in the garden hear the mournful sound, There in the darkness on the dewy ground, While the watchers they were sleeping, Was Jesus praying, weeping, Was Jesus praying, weeping. 2 With nature’s mantle, night’s dark pall, Beneath those garden trees, He wrestled nobly for us all, From sin, man to release. [Refrain] 3 Sin’s loathsome weight He bore in sweat, That oozed in bloody flow; Ignoble shame was His, and yet He meekly suffered so. [Refrain] 4 For sinful mortals, rich and poor, He fought hell’s legions fierce; Abased, He won the vict’ry sure, Though pangs His soul did pierce.
