Rhyme Scheme: AABBCDEF GGHHIIEF JJKLMMEF NNOOMMEF| In golden youth when seems the earth | A |
| A Summer land of singing mirth | A |
| When souls are glad and hearts are light | B |
| And not a shadow lurks in sight | B |
| We do not know it but there lieu | C |
| Somewhere veiled under evening skies | D |
| A garden which we all must see | E |
| The garden of Gethsemane | F |
| - | |
| With joyous steps we go our ways | G |
| Love lends a halo to our days | G |
| Light sorrows sail like clouds afar | H |
| We laugh and say how strong we are | H |
| We hurry on and hurrying go | I |
| Close to the borderland of woe | I |
| That waits for you and waits for me | E |
| Forever waits Gethsemane | F |
| - | |
| Down shadowy lanes across strange streams | J |
| Bridged over by our broken dreams | J |
| Behind the misty caps of years | K |
| Beyond the great salt fount of tears | L |
| The garden lies Strive as you may | M |
| You cannot miss it in your way | M |
| All paths that have been or shall be | E |
| Pass somewhere through Gethsemane | F |
| - | |
| All those who journey soon or late | N |
| Must pass within the garden's gate | N |
| Must kneel alone in darkness there | O |
| And battle with some fierce despair | O |
| God pity those who cannot say | M |
| Not mine but Thine who only pray | M |
| Let this cup pass and cannot see | E |
| The PURPOSE in Gethsemane | F |
