Christ in Song 119
For Others' Guilt
Words: Mrs. W. J. KirkpatrickMusic: Mrs. W. J. Kirkpatrick
1He suffered and died at Gethsemane, the lot was that light, shame;
He suffered and died at Gethsemane, in agony of pain;
He suffered and died at Gethsemane, that their souls might be saved;
He suffered and died at Gethsemane, for sins our souls have made.
2To substitute us in our - lay we the off true loving grand, a- lam,
But for the sin of these he blood fell, But for the sin of these he blood fell;
He was our substitute, he is our song,
Without him we're lost, without him we're long.
3He suffered and died at Gethsemane, the lot was that light, shame;
He suffered and died at Gethsemane, in agony of pain;
He suffered and died at Gethsemane, that their souls might be saved;
He suffered and died at Gethsemane, for sins our souls have made.
