GETHSEMANE-Richard Redhead
PILOT-John E. Gould

Go to Dark Gethsemane
}
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;
Oh, the wormwood and the gall!
Oh, 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 him cry;
Learn of Jesus Christ to die.

Early hasten to the tomb,
Where they laid his breathless clay;
Who hath taken him away?
Christ is risen; he meets our eyes;
Saviour, teach us so to rise!
