Subject: Lyr Add: Too Sacred For Mortal Eyes To See
As sung by Pastor & Mrs. Buck Ledford, When I Get Home, LFLP 19

TO SACRED FOR MORTAL EYES TO SEE
(original lyrics)

To the garden Jesus went, His disciples too
He withdrew from down the stones throw and knelt down to pray
As the time was almost spent, lo, there came to view
Angels bright from God to strengthen Him along the way

CHORUS
'Twas too sacred there for mortal eyes to see
When He prayed to His dear Father "Take this cup from me"
His disciples all so sleepy seemed to be
For that scene was far too sacred for their eyes to see

His disciples fell asleep when the Lord withdrew
They could not behold the beauty of that sacred place
Though they had a watch to keep, that they did not do
We believe that eyes of mortals should not see His face

CHORUS
