When My Love to God Grows Weak

John Reynell Wreford (1837) • English

Primary Scripture: Matthew 26:36-44

Verse 1

When my love to Christ grows weak, When for deeper faith I seek, Then in thought I go to thee, Garden of Gethsemane.

Verse 2

When my love for man grows weak, When for stronger faith I seek, Hill of Calvary, I go To the scenes of fear and woe.

Verse 3

There behold His agony, Suffered on the bitter tree; See His anguish, see His faith, Love triumphant still in death.

Verse 4

Then to life I turn again, Learning all the worth of pain, Learning all the might that lies In a full self-sacrifice.
