- 1Go to dark Gethsemane,
- Ye that feel the tempter's pow'r;
- Your Redeemer's conflict see,
- Watch with Him one bitter hour;
- Turn not from His griefs away,
- Learn of Jesus Christ to pray.
- 2Follow 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.
- 3Calv'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.
- 4Early hasten to the tomb,
- Where they laid His breathless clay;
- All is solitude and gloom--
- Who hath taken Him away?
- Christ is ris'n, He meets our eyes!
- Savior, teach us so to rise.
