Hymn 100 NEATH THE OLD OLIVE Lyrics

1. “Neath the stars of the night walked the Saviour,
Of light, In the garden dew ladened breeze,
Where no light could be found,
Jesus knelt on the ground.
There He prayed “neath the old olive trees.

Chorus:
‘Neath the old olive tree, ‘Neath the old
Olive trees, Went the Saviour alone on
His knees: “Not My will, Thine be done.
Cried the Father’s om Son. As He knelt
‘Neath the old olive trees.

2. All the sin of the world On the Saviour was hurled,
As He knelt in the garden alone,
Hear His soul burdened plea, Let this cup
Pass from Me, “E’en so, not My will, Thine alone.”

3. May my song ever be Of the love proffered me,
By my Lord all alone on His lances:
Praise the Wonderful name, He who bore all my blame,
As He knelt ‘neath the old olive trees
