Go to Dark Gethsemane

Go to dark Gethsemane,Ye that feel the Tempter’s power;Your Redeemer’s conflict see,Watch with Him one bitter hour;Turn not from His griefs away,Learn of 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 suffering, shame, or loss;Learn of Him to bear the cross.

Calvary’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 tombWhere they laid His breathless clay;All is solitude and gloom,—Who hath taken Him away?Christ is risen! He meets our eyes.Savior, teach us so to rise.
