Go to Dark Gethsemane

Go to dark Gethsemane, ye that feel the tempter's power

James Montgomery · 7.7.7.7.7.7

1.Go to dark Gethsemane,
ye that 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.

2.Follow to the judgment hall,
view the Lord of Life arraigned;
O the wormwood and the gall!
O the pangs His soul sustained!
Shun not suff'ring, shame, or loss;
learn from Christ to bear the cross.

3.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.

4.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.
