Go to Dark Gethsemane - Good Friday Hymn with Lyrics Onscreen

A very sombre and meaningful hymn, usually sung on Maundy Thursday or Good Friday, or any time during Lent!

This song is available off of my Hymns of Good Friday album! https://artists.landr.com/HymnsofGoodFriday

If you enjoyed this song, consider saving to your favourite Sunday or Inspirational playlist on Spotify or Apple Music to listen again in the future and help these songs reach more people. Even if your playlist has even just two likes or if it's just for you to listen to, it does actually help so much with the song getting heard by others, and also makes my day to see that people are enjoying it in their everyday lives.

I also make custom hymn videos by request- just let me know what I might be able to do for you!

Lyrics - [ELW 347]

1 Go to dark Gethsemane,
all 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 from Jesus Christ to pray.

2 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 suff'ring, shame, or loss;
learn from him to bear the cross.

3 Calv'ry’s mournful mountain climb;
there, adoring at his feet,
mark the miracle of time,
God’s own sacrifice complete.
“It is finished!” hear him cry;
learn from Jesus Christ to die.

4 Early hasten to the tomb
where they laid his breathless clay:
all is solitude and gloom.
Who has taken him away?
Christ is ris'n! He meets our eyes.
Savior, teach us so to rise.
