neath the old olive tree

g

neath the stars of the night walked the savior of light
in the garden of dew ladened breeze
where no light could be found jesus knelt on the ground
there he prayed neath the old olive tree

ch
neath the old olive tree
neath the old olive tree
went the savior alone on his knees
not my will thine be done cried the father's on son
as he knelt neath the old olive tree

all the sin of the world on the savior was hurled
as he knelt in the garden alone
heat his soul burdened plea let this cup pass from me
even so not my will thine be done

ch
