Lyrics
Jennie Evelyn Hussey (1921)
[Key: C]
Verse 1
King of my life I crown Thee now --
Thine shall the glory be;
Lest I forget Thy thorn crowned brow,
Lead me to Calvary.
Chorus
Lest I forget Gethsemane,
Lest I forget Thine agony,
Lest I forget Thy love for me,
Lead me to Calvary.
Verse 2
Show me the tomb where Thou wast laid,
Tenderly mourned and wept;
Angels in robes of light arrayed
Guarded Thee whilst thou slept.
Chorus
Lest I forget Gethsemane,
Lest I forget Thine agony,
Lest I forget Thy love for me,
Lead me to Calvary.
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.
Chorus
Lest I forget Gethsemane,
Lest I forget Thine agony,
Lest I forget Thy love for me,
Lead me to Calvary.
Verse 4
May I be willing, Lord, to bear
Daily my cross for Thee;
Even Thy cup of grief to share --
Thou hast borne all for me.
Chorus
Lest I forget Gethsemane,
Lest I forget Thine agony,
Lest I forget Thy love for me,
Lead me to Calvary.
