GRH 136 Go to Dark Gethsemance

(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 of Jesus Christ to pray.

(2)
Follow to the judgment hall;
View the Lord of life arraigned:
Oh, the worm wood and the gall!
Oh, the pangs His soul sustained!
Shun not suff’ring, shame, or loss;
Learn of Him 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 the cry;
Learn of Jesus Christ to die.

(4)
Early hasten to the tomb
Where they laid His breathless clay;
All is solitude and gloom;
Who hath taken Him away?
Christ is ris’n! He meets our eyes:
Saviour, teach us si to rise.
