Go to Dark Gethsemane

Go to dark Gethsemane
All who feel the tempter's pow'r
Your Redeemer's conflict see
Watch with him one bitter hour
Turn not from his griefs away
Learn from Jesus Christ to pray

Follow to the judgment hall
View the Lord of life arraigned
Oh, the wormwood and the gall!
Oh, the pangs his soul sustained!
Shun not suff'ring, shame, or loss
Learn from him 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 from 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 ris'n! He meets our eyes
Savior, teach us so to rise
