Full Lyrics

1. Go to dark Geth- se- ma- ne, ye that feel the temp- ter's pow'r; Your Re- deem- er's con- flict see, watch with Him one bit- ter hour, Turn not from His griefs a- way; learn from Je- sus Christ to pray.

2. Fol- low to the judg- ment hall, view the Lord of Life ar- raigned; O the worm- wood and the gall! O the pangs His soul sus- tained! Shun not suf- f'ring, shame, or loss; learn from Christ to bear the cross.

3. Cal- v'ry's mourn- ful moun- tain climb; there, a- dor- ing at His feet, Mark that mir- a- cle of time, God's own sac- ri- fice com- plete. "It is fin- ished!" hear Him cry; learn from Je- sus Christ to die.

4. Ear- ly hast- en to the tomb where they laid His breath- less clay; All is sol- i- tude and gloom. Who has tak- en Him a- way? Christ is ris'n! He meets our eyes; Sa- vior, teach us so to rise.
