When My Love to Christ Grows Weak
John R. Wreford, 1837
Time Signature: 3/4
Presentation V1 V2 V3 V4 V5
Verse 1
When my love to Christ grows weak,
When for deeper faith I seek,
Then in thought I go to thee,
Garden of Gethsemane!
Verse 2
There I walk amid the shades,
While the ling’ring twilight fades,
see that suff’ring friendless One,
Weeping, praying there alone.
Verse 3
When my love for man grows weak,
When for stronger faith I seek,
Hill of Calvary, I go
To thy scenes of fear and woe.
Verse 4
There behold His agony,
Suffered on the bitter tree;
See His anguish, see His faith:
Love triumphant still in death.
Verse 5
Then to life I turn again,
Learning all the worth of pain,
Learning all the might that lies
In a full self sacrifice.
