1 In the still garden, dark and lone,
See Him in prayer—the sinless One;
His loved disciples sadly sleep
The Lord, alone, a watch doth keep.

Refrain:
The morning breaks! The shadows flee;
All hail the song of victory!
The gloom of death has passed away
Before the dawn of Easter day;
The gloom of death has passed away
Before the glorious dawn of Easter day.

2 Soon comes the hour of cruel pain;
Soon must the Lamb of God be slain;
Look How he pleads new strength and power
To bear—alone—dark Calv­ry’s hour. [Refrain]

3 Within the garden still and lone,
Ere yet the midnight watch is done;
Hark to the sound of angel wings
For One from Heav’n sweet comfort brings. [Refrain]

4 Hark to the clamor of the crowd!
Hark to those voices strange and loud!
They bear Him to the cross of pain,
And lo!—for us—the Lord is slain! [Refrain]

5 O Lamb of God! O sinless One!
Such love as Thine was never known;
O love divine that suffered so—
That bore—for us—such weight of woe! [Refrain]
