    Lyrics:
    Gethsemane lay still and dark
    Creation watched in silent awe
    As Jesus suffered his Father's will
    To satisfy unyielding law

    He knelt in earnest prayer alone
    His friends, o'ercome with sorrow, slept
    Beneath the burden of grief he groaned
    Beneath the weight of sin he wept

    And with his blood so freely spent
    He bought my soul; he paid my debt
    What work of love was wrought for me
    In the stillness of Gethsemane

    "This bitter cup wilt thou remove?
    Yet not my will, but thine be done."
    Behold his anguish and weep anew
    For love of Christ, the sinless one

    With his wounds my own are healed
    My every pain o'ercome in his
    My shame, my weakness, my grief untold
    Find ransom in his priceless gift

    For with his blood so freely spent
    He bought my soul; he paid my debt
    What work of love was wrought for me
    In the stillness of Gethsemane

    This song is part of the I Stand All Amazed cantata.
