Gethsemane by Abraham Wood — Lyrics
About Gethsemane
Great High Priest, we view thee stooping, with our names upon thy breast, in the garden, groaning, drooping, to the ground with horrors pressed. Weeping angels stood confounded to behold their Maker thus; and can we remain unwounded when we know 'twas all for us? This powerful sacred text is set for STB voices in this deeply devotional anthem. Abraham Wood's setting captures the profound sorrow and sacrifice described in the lyrics, offering a moving reflection on Christ's suffering in Gethsemane. The music guides the choir and listeners to contemplate the immense love and redemption offered through this pivotal moment in sacred history. A poignant choice for moments of solemn reflection.
