Various Artists - Dark Was the Night, Cold Was the Ground lyrics

Dark was the night, and cold the ground on which the Lord was laid; his sweat like drops of blood ran down; in agony he prayed. "Father, remove this bitter cup, if such thy sacred will; if not, content to drink it up thy pleasure to fulfill." Go to the garden, sinner, see those precious drops that flow; the heavy load he bore for thee; for thee he lies so low.
