Suffering & Death of Jesus · Hymn 317 · 10.9

Wrestling in agony, wrestling alone

THE PASSION OF JESUS “They shall look on Him whom they pierced” John 19:37. THE GARDEN

1.

Wrestling in agony, wrestling alone

Weary for human love, finding none

2.

While over Oliver sleeps the moon-light

Whose is that broken prayer troubling night?

3.

What are those drops of blood falling like rain

Wrung from that heart of Thine, man of pain

4.

Anguish unspeakable writ on thy brow

Suppliant sufferer, who art Thou?

Amen
