Go to Dark Gethsemane
Go to Dark Gethsemane
Verse
1
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.
Verse
2
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.
Verse
3
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.
Verse
4
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;
Savior,
teach us so to rise.
