**“Wouldst Thou Learn the Depth of Sin?”**
 By John Monsell, 1863

Wouldst thou learn the depth of sin,
 All its bitterness and pain? What it cost 
thy God to win Sinners to Himself again? Come, poor sinner, come with me; Visit 
sad Gethsemane.

Wouldst thou know God’s wondrous love?
 Seek it not beside the throne; List not 
angels’ praise above, But come and hear the heavy groan By the Saviour heaved for
thee, Sinner, in Gethsemane.

When His tears and bloody sweat,
 When His passion and His prayer, When His pangs
on Olivet, Wake within thee thoughts of care, Think, O sinner, ’twas for thee He
suffered in Gethsemane!

Hate the sin that cost so dear;
 Love the God that loved thee so; Weep thou must,
but likewise fear Lest thou forget the painful flow, That gushed so freely once 
for thee In sorrowful Gethsemane.
