Go To Dark Gethsemane
GETHSEMANE 7.7.7.7.7.7.
SUFFERINGS AND DEATH
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.
See him at the judgment hall,
beaten, bound, reviled, arraigned;
See Him meekly bearing all
Love to man His soul sustained;
Shun not suffering, shame, or loss;
learn of Christ to bear the cross.
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.
