Lyrics:
Come to the garden, in the darkness
Where Jesus came and knelt to pray
To bear our grief, to carry all our sadness
To pay the debt He alone could pay
Come to the garden, in the darkness
Where Jesus sorrowed for our sin
And offered up His sinless soul to save us
Come tarry here, and watch one hour with Him
Chorus:
He bled to bind our wounds and wipe away our tears
He suffered all the anguish of mankind
He wept for every heartache we will ever know
His tears were yours; His tears were mine
Come to the garden, in the darkness
Where Jesus wrought His Father's will
To claim the souls His blood alone could purchase
To free us all from the chains of hell
There in garden, in the darkness
Where Jesus drank the bitter cup
The pain of our iniquity and weakness
Was swallowed up in His perfect love
(Repeat chorus)
Isn't that stained glass just gorgeous? It's a photo of a window in St. John's Anglican Church, Ashfield, New South Wales (NSW), Australia.

To claim the souls His blood alone could purchase
To free us all from the chains of hell
There in garden, in the darkness
Where Jesus drank the bitter cup
The pain of our iniquity and weakness
Was swallowed up in His perfect love
