I saw

In dark Geth­se­ma­ne.
Beneath the cross there flowed a stream
In ag­ony and blood,
And the shin­ing light I see,
I fell, I fell at His feet as dead;
That ev­er mor­tal saw;
A sin­ner saved by grace,
Of the Strang­er of Ga­li­lee;
New Jerusalem,
In that sacred Name.
I saw it laid away;
I saw it laid away;
Toiling slow along the hill,
