‘Neath the Old Olive Trees
A
‘Neath the stars of the night
D A
Walked the Savior of light,
E A
In the garden of dew-ladened breeze;
A
Where no light could be found,
G Bm
Jesus knelt on the ground,
A E A
There He prayed ‘neath the old olive trees.
A E
‘Neath the old olive trees,
E7 A
‘Neath the old olive trees,
B B7 E
Went the Savior alone on His knees:
A
Not My will, Thine be done,
G Bm
Cried the Father’s own Son,
A E A
As He knelt ‘neath the old olive trees.
A
All the sin of the world
D A
On the Savior was hurled,
E A
As He knelt in the garden alone;
A
Hear His soul-burdened plea,
G Bm
Let this cup pass from Me,
A E A
Even so, not My will, Thine be done.
A E
‘Neath the old olive trees,
E7 A
‘Neath the old olive trees,
B B7 E
Went the Savior alone on His knees:
A
Not My will, Thine be done,
G Bm
Cried the Father’s own Son,
A E A
As He knelt ‘neath the old olive trees.
A
May my song ever be
D A
Of the love proffered me,
E A
By my Lord all alone on His knees:
A
Praise His wonderful name,
G Bm
He who bore all my blame,
A E A
From the garden to dark Calvary
A E
‘Neath the old olive trees,
E7 A
‘Neath the old olive trees,
B B7 E
Went the Savior alone on His knees:
A
Not My will, Thine be done,
G Bm
Cried the Father’s own Son,
A E A
As He knelt ‘neath the old olive trees.
