   D         A     D    G        D
1  Go   to   dark  Geth-sema  -  ne,
2  Follow    to    the  judgment hall;
3  Calvary's mourn-ful  mountain climb;
4  Early     hast -en   to  the  tomb,

   D      (Bm) A    D   G6     A     D
1  Ye     that feel the temp - ter's power;
2  View   the  Lord of  life   ar  - raigned;
3  There, a  - dor -ing at     His   feet,
4  Where  they laid His breath-less  clay;

   D    Bm   A    D    G        D
1  Your Re - deem-er's conflict see,
2  Oh,  the  worm-wood and the  gall!
3  Mark that mir -a  - cle  of  time,
4  All  is   sol -i  - tude and gloom.

   D     Bm   A     D   G        D
1  Watch with Him   one bitter   hour;
2  Oh,   the  pangs His soul sus-tained!
3  God's own  sac - ri -fice com-plete:
4  Who   hath tak - en  Him    a-way?

   D         A      D       G        D
1  Turn not  from   His     griefs  a-way,
2  Shun not  suf  - fering, shame, or loss;
3  "It  is   fin  - ished," hear Him  cry;
4  Christ is ris'n; He      meets our eyes;

   D     A   D     G6  Asus4  A   D
1  Learn of  Je  - sus Christ to  pray.
2  Learn of  Him   to  bear   the cross.
3  Learn of  Je  - sus Christ to  die.
4  Sav -ior, teach us  so     to  rise!
