Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #99 (1917) 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 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 suffering, shame, or loss;
Learn of Him 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 finished," hear Him cry;
Learn of Jesus Christ to die.
4 Early hasten to the tomb
Where they laid His breathless
All is solitude and gloom;
Who hath taken Him away?
Christ is risen! He meets our eyes:
Saviour, teach us so to rise. Topics: Cross of; Christ Sufferings of; Cross Bearing the; Gethsemane; Prayer For Deliverance; Sufferings of Christ; Suffering For Christ's ; Suffering For Christ's ; Temptation; Temptation Languages: English Tune Title: HOLLING
