LyicsGo 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.
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 suffering, shame, or loss;
Learn of him to bear the cross.
Calv'ry's mournful mountain climb;
There, admiring 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.
