**“Go To Dark Gethsemane”
 
By James Montgomery, 1820

Go 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 Learn of Jesus Christ to pray

See Him at the judgment hall,
 Beaten, bound, reviled, arraigned O the wormwood 
and the gall! O the pangs His soul sustained! Shun not suffering, shame, or loss;
Learn of Christ to bear the cross Learn of Christ to bear the cross

Calvary’s mournful mountain climb;
 There, adoring 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 Learn of Jesus Christ to die

Early hasten to the tomb
 Where they laid His breathless clay All is solitude and
gloom. Who has taken Him away? Christ is risen! He meets our eyes; Savior, teach
us so to rise Savior, teach us so to rise
