Go to Dark Gethsemane

Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 506 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Go to dark Gethsemane, All who feel the tempter's pow'r; Your Redeemer's conflict see. Watch with him one bitter hour; Turn not from his griefs away; Learn from Jesus Christ to pray. 2 Follow to the judgment hall, View the Lord of life arraigned; Oh, the wormwood and the gall! Oh, the pangs his soul sustained! Shun not suff'ring, shame, or loss; Learn from 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 from 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: Holy Week; Holy Week Used With Tune: GETHSEMANE

God fills them with his fulness, All things with large increase; He crowns the year with goodness, With plenty and with peace. 3 Bring to this sacred altar The gifts his goodness gave, The golden sheaves of harvest, The souls Christ died to save.

Your trusty shield and sword of love endure; Our constant inspiration be your Word; We ask no victories that are not yours. Give or withhold, let pain or pleasure fall: To know that we are serving you is all. Topics: Community in Christ; Community in Christ; Creation; Society Used With Tune: SONG 1

We should never be discouraged - Take it to the Lord in prayer. Can we find a friend so faithful Who will all our sorrows share? Jesus knows our ev'ry weakness - Take it to the Lord in prayer. 3 Are we weak and heavy-laden, Cumbered with a load of care? Precious Savior, still our refuge - Take it to the Lord in prayer.

Good Christian, fear; for sinners here The silent Word is pleading. Nails, spear shall pierce him through, The cross be borne for me, for you; Hail, hail the Word made flesh, The babe, the son of Mary! 3 So bring him incense, gold, and myrrh; Come, peasant, king, to own him. The King of kings salvation brings; Let loving hearts enthrone him. Raise, raise the song on high, The virgin sings her lullaby; Joy, joy, for Christ is born, The babe, the son of Mary!
