Hymns for a Pilgrim People ‎#171

171. Go to Dark Gethsemane

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 See Him at the judgment hall,
Beaten, bound, reviled, arraigned;
See Him meekly bearing all!
Love to man His soul sustained,
Shun not suff'ring, shame, or loss;
Learn of Christ to bear the cross.

3 Calv'ry'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.

Amen.
