Go To Dark Gethsemane

Go to dark Gethsemane,
ye that feel the tempter's pow'r;
Your Redeemer's conflict see,
watch with Him one bitter hour,
turn not from His griefs away;
Learn of Jesus Christ to pray.

See Him at the judgment hall,
beaten, bound, reviled, arraigned;
O the wormwood and the gall!
O the pangs His soul sustained!
Shun not suffering, shame, or loss;
Learn of Christ to bear the cross.

Calv'ry's mournful mountain climb;
There, adoring at His feet,
mark that miracle of time,
God's own sacrifice complete.
It is finished! Hear Him cry;
Learn of Jesus Christ to die.

Early hasten to the tomb
where they laid His breathless clay;
All is solitude and gloom.
Who has taken Him away?
Christ is risen! He meets our eyes;
Saviour, teach us so to rise.
