Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Hymnal: Revival Hymns and Choruses #202 (1970) Lyrics: 1 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.
2 See him the judgment hall,
Beaten, bound, reviled, arraigned;
See him meekly bearing all!
Love to man his soul sustained.
Shun not suffering, shame, or loss;
Learn of Christ to bear the cross.
3 Calvary's mournful mountain climb;
There adoring at his feet,
Mark that miracle of time,
God's own sacrifice complete:
"It is finish'd!" hear the cry;
Learn of Jesus Christ to die.
Amen. Topics: Passion and Cross Languages: English Tune Title: [Go to dark Gethsemane]
