lyrics

While passing through this garden
A voice I hear.
Was the voice of one suffering
That loved me so dear. (2)

While passing through this garden
I asked Him His name.
He answered, “I am Jesus,
From heaven I came.” (2)

They found Him low kneeling
Upon that cold ground.
The pains of His suffering
That no one has found. (2)

They whipped Him, they beat Him,
They thorn-crowned His head.
His raiment of purple
Showed the blood-stain of red. (2)

They whipped Him, they beat Him,
They speared Him in His side.
And out of those spear holes
Ran water and blood. (2)
