Gethsemane Lyrics by Carl Smith, The Carter Family II, Maybelle Carter

Softly And Tenderly

0

On the hillside so lonely knelt Jesus one day
\nSo wounded and weary he went there to pray
\nMy friends there forsaken so lonely he feels
\nTo heaven he's crying in helpless appeal
\n
\nBut a golden day has broken in old Gethsemane
\nThe mornings all come singing the songs of victory
\nThere’s a new highway to glory, the road that Jesus try
\nWith a halo we're traveling the pathway too God
\n
\nOn the hillsidе in the garden such suffering I see
\nIn humblе submission he'll make honest plea
\nHis blood streams are bursting, come sinner be true
\nHis cheeks are stained crimson for me and for you
\n
\nBut a golden day has broken in old Gethsemane
\nThe mornings all come singing the songs of victory
\nThere’s a new highway to glory, the road that Jesus try
\nWith a halo we're traveling the pathway too God\n\n
