Go to Dark Gethsemane Songtext

von Page CXVI

Go to dark Gethsemane,
Feel the tempter's power;
Your Redeemer's con?ict see,
Watch with Him one hour,
Turn not from His griefs away;
Turn not from His griefs
Learn of Jesus Christ to pray.
Turn not from His griefs

See Him at the judgment hall,
Beaten, bound, arraigned;
O the wormwood and the gall!
The pangs His soul sustained!!
Shun not suffering, and shame;
Oh Shun not suffering!
Learn of Christ to bear the cross.
Shun not suffering

Calvary's mournful mountain climb;
Adoring at His feet,
Mark that miracle of time,
God's sacri?ce complete
"It is ?nished!" hear Him cry;
Oh It is ?nished, done
Learn of Jesus Christ to die. It is ?nished, done

He wept,
We wept …
