Go To Dark Gethsemane,
You Who Feel The Tempter’s Pow’r;
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 Worm-Wood 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 The 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.
