LyicsGO 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.:||
Follow to the judgment-hall;
View the Lord of life arraign'd!
O the wormwood and the gall!
O the pangs His soul sustain'd!
||:Shun not suff'ring, 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--
God's own sacrifice complete;
||:"It is finish'd!" hear Him cry;
Learn of Jesus Christ to die.:||
