I stand amazed in the presence
Of Jesus the Nazarene,
And wonder how He could love me,
A sinner condemned, unclean.

For me it was in the garden,
He prayed: “Not my will, but Thine.”
He had no tears for His own griefs,
But sweat-drops of blood for mine.

In pity angels beheld Him,
And came from the world of light
To strengthen Him in the sorrows
He bore for my soul that night.
And came from the world of light
To strengthen Him in the sorrows
He bore for my soul that night.

He took my sins and my sorrows,
He made them His very own;
He bore the burden to Calv’ry,
And suffered, and died alone.

When with the ransomed in glory
His face I at last shall see,
’Twill be my joy through the ages
To sing of His love for me.

One of the songs I remember my mother singing as she prepared meals for the family. No doubt, this generation is missing out on a glorious heritage by not having them sang in our homes and churches today.

This is no doubt one of the most powerful hymns ever written which tells the whole salvation story.

Amazed by His never ending Love. What an Almighty God would not do for His Creation.

Preston, I think you nailed it, that this is just a poetic way of saying that Jesus loves us more than He loves Himself. In the garden of Gethsemane, for example, Jesus was full of sorrow and grief.

This song brings back so many memories of my late 30s to 1940s childhood. Some of the favorites were Mama and my older sister playing the piano.
Is it true that Jesus had no tears for his own griefs? or is it just a poetic way of saying that Jesus loves us more than He loves Himself?

In the early 1900's Charles H. Gabriel was the king of gospel music. Gabriel wrote the words and music for a number of hymns used by popular evangelists of his day such as Billy Sunday and his song-leader, Homer Rodeheaver.
Gabriel's hymns reflect a change in the style of gospel music. In the 1800's, hymns were deeply meaningful and often meditative. But with the revivals of Moody and Sunday, Christians learned to love songs that were fun to sing, highly energetic, and easy to remember. - Great Songs of Faith by Brown & Norton

So simple yet so profound. I can't get this song out of my head. And I hope I never do!
