It was alone the Savior prayed
In dark Gethsemane;
Alone He drained the bitter cup
And suffered there for me.
In dark Gethsemane;
Alone He drained the bitter cup
And suffered there for me.
Alone, alone,
He bore it all alone;
He gave Himself to save His own,
He suffered, bled and died alone, alone.
He bore it all alone;
He gave Himself to save His own,
He suffered, bled and died alone, alone.

It was alone the Savior stood
In Pilate’s judgment hall;
Alone the crown of thorns He wore,
Forsaken thus by all.

Alone upon the cross He hung
That others He might save;
Forsaken then by God and man.
Alone, His life He gave.
That others He might save;
Forsaken then by God and man.
Alone, His life He gave.

Can you reject such matchless love?
Can you His claim disown?
Come, give your all in gratitude,
Nor leave Him thus alone.

Yes this is a lovely hymn depicting the suffering of our Lord Jesus at the hands of mankind. We used to sing this hymn at consecration service. Beautiful lovely feeling of emotion in worshipping God.
God Bless you sir for sharing this hymn. It brought back memories of when we saints were humble and strive to live Holy before God. Thank you.

This is one of my favorite hymns. It was my grandfather's favorite.
