lyrics

It was alone the saviour prayed
In dark Gethsemane
Alone he drained the bitter cup
and suffered there for me

The silver hit the floor
the price they paid that day
and so in shame the disciple came
and with a kiss betrayed

It was alone the saviour braved
The dark assembly
In silence took without defence
the sentence set for me

So sing Hallelujah
Every tear shall fade
Hallelujah
Jesus rose again

It was alone the saviour walked
led through the streets of dust
as children mocked, he bore their cross
the price prepared for us

It was alone the saviour prayed
‘Forgive their troubled souls!’
Alone, alone, his dying prayer,
‘Their burden mine alone!’

So sing Hallelujah
Every tear shall fade
Hallelujah
Jesus rose again
(rpt)

Red was the blood that flowed from his side
Black were the clouds that covered the sky
‘Father it’s finished!’ was his final cry
the innocent slain for mankind
