THE HOLY HOUR.
Hadst thou been in Gethsemane, That darksome night and drear, When Christ the bitter chalice drained, With none to soothe or cheer. When all the crimes of sinful men. His cup filled to the brim, And trickling fell the sweat of blood, Wouldst thou have watched with him? All agony that heart can bear. All sorrow earth has' known He suffered in that cruel hour, And suffered it alone. The comfort that the angel brought, Oh! had it been from-thee! Oh ! hear His cry of wounded love, “Wilt watch one hour with Me?” His Heart is calling to thee still, Canst thou resist its power ? Go before His lonely shrine, To watch with Him—one hour.
