Mark 14:32: Sit ye here, "while I shall pray

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)

Religion

Thus might I from man retreat.
Shut to him my sorrowing heart.
Open it my Lord to meet,
Watch and mourn, and pray apart!
Thus prevent the trying hour:
Then I share I'hine agony,
Arm'd with all Thy Spirit's power
Then I come to die with Thee.
