Go To Dark Gethsemane

Description

Go to dark Gethsemane, You that feel the tempter’s pow’r;
Your Redeemer’s conflict see; Watch with Him one bitter hour.
Turn not from His griefs away; Lean from Jesus Christ to pray;
Learn from Jesus Christ to pray.

See Him at the judgment hall, Beaten, bound, reviled, arraigned;
Seek Him meekly bearing all; Love for man His soul sustained;
Shun not suff’ring, shame nor loss; Learn from Christ to bear the cross;
Learn from 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 from Jesus Christ to die;
Learn from Jesus Christ to die.

Early hasten to the tomb Where the Savior, breathless, lay;
All is solitude and gloom; “Who has taken Him away?”
Christ is ris’n He meets our eyes; Savior, teach us thus to rise.
Savior, teach us thus to rise.
