Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Chalice Hymnal #196 (1995) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Go to dark Gethsemane,
all who 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.
2 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 suff'ring, shame, or loss;
learn of him to bear the cross.
3 Calv'ry’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.
4 Early hasten to the tomb
where they laid his breathless clay;
all is solitude and gloom.
Who has taken him away?
Christ is ris'n! He meets our eyes;
Savior, teach us so to rise. Topics: God Known in Jesus Christ Suffering and Death; Christian Year: Holy Week; Jesus Christ; Jesus Christ: Cross; Jesus Christ: Resurrection; Jesus Christ: Suffering Languages: English Tune Title: REDHEAD 76
