Go to Dark Gethsemane Rosemary Siemens

1 verse:  
Go to dark Gethsemane,
You 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 of Jesus Christ to pray!

2 verse:  
Follow to the judgment hall,
View the Lord of life arraigned!
O the worm-wood and the gall,
O the pangs His soul sustained!
Shun not suff'ring, shame, or loss,
Learn of Him to bear the cross!

3 verse:  
Calv'ry's mournful mountain climb 
There' adoring at His feet.
Mark the miracle of time,
God's own sacrifice complete:
"It is finished!" Hear the cry,
Learn of Jesus Christ to die!

4 verse:  
Early 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!
