Go to dark Gethsemane

by James Montgomery

Representative text

As printed in The Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal (1985), no. 157.

Verse 1

Go to dark Gethsemane, Ye who feel the tempter’s power Your Redeemer’s conflict see. Watch with him one bitter hour; Turn not from his griefs away; Learn from Jesus Christ to pray.

Verse 2

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 from him to bear the cross.

Verse 3

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 from Jesus Christ to die.
