Lyrics
Verse 1
King of my life I crown we now, thine shall the glory be, lest I forget thy thorncrowned brow, lead me to calvary.
Verse 2
Show me thetomb where thou was laid, tenderly mourned and wept; angels in robes of light arrayed guarded us whilst thou slept.
Verse 3
Let me like Mary, thru the gloom come with a gift to thee; show to me now the empty tomb, lead me to calvary.
Verse 4
May I be willing,
Lord to bear daily my cross for Thee; even the cup of grief to share,
Thou hast born all for me.
Chorus
Lest I forget gethsemane, lest I forget thine agony, lest I forget thy love for me, lead me to calvary.
