Go to Dark Gethsemane
I wasn't sure if I'd do a song for Easter and then I was going through the hymn book and read this hymn. Knew I had to try to record it.(If the words are different than what you might be used to, I simply sang from the hymn book I read it from.)Lyrics: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.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.Calvary's mournful mountain climb; there, adoring at His feet,Mark that miracle of time, God's own sacrifice complete."It is finished!" hear the cry; learn of Jesus Christ to die.Early hasten to the tomb where they laid His breathless clay;All is solitude and gloom. Who hath taken Him away?Christ is risen! He meets our eyes; Savior, teach us so to rise.---------------------------
