Go to Dark Gethsemane

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 507 hymnals Topics: Biblical Names and Places Calvary; Biblical Names and Places Gethsemane 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– teach us, Lord, how we should 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 suffering, shame, or loss– help us, Lord, to bear our cross. 3 Calvary’s mournful mountain climb; there, adoring at his feet, mark the miracle of time, God’s own sacrifice complete: “It is finished!” hear him cry– save us, Lord, when death draws nigh. 4 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. Scripture: Matthew 27:27-31 Used With Tune: REDHEAD
