143. Made Perfect Through Suffering

Go to dark Gethsemane,
Ye that feel temptation’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!

Follow to the judgment-hall,
View the Lord of life arraigned;
O the wormwood and the gall!
O the griefs his soul sustained!
Shun not suffering, shame, or loss;
Learn of him to bear the cross!

Calvary’s mournful mountain climb;
There, admiring at his feet,
Mark that miracle of time,
Love’s own sacrifice complete;
“It is finished,” hear him cry;
Learn of Jesus Christ to die!
