GETHSEMANE, by                    
First Line: There is a way which man hath trod
Last Line: Life's only way—gethsemane.
Subject(s): Gethsemane


There is a way which man hath trod
For lo, these thronging, countless years;
It is the way of life, of God;
It is the way of night, of tears;
Its winding we may not foresee;It is the way—Gethsemane.

It is the way whereby we know
Life's larger meanings and its claims,
The fellowship of human woe,
Our partnership with others' pains.
It is the way which seems to be
Life's only way—Gethsemane.
