Go to dark Gethsemane

Go to dark Gethsemane,
ye that feel the temp’ters 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 judgement hall;
view the Lord of life arraigned;
O the bitter cup, the gall!
O the pangs His soul sustained!
Shun not suff’ring, shame, or loss;
learn of Christ to bear a cross.

Calvary’s mournful mountain climb;
there, adoring at his feet,
mark the miracle of time,
God’s own sacrifice complete;
it is finished, hear Him cry;

learn of Jesus Christ to die.
