Go to dark Gethsemane

Shun not suffering, shame, or loss; learn from Christ to bear the cross. 3 Calvary's mournful mountain view; there the Lord of glory see, made a sacrifice for you, dying on the accursed tree. "It is finished," hear him cry: trust in Christ and learn to die. Used With Tune: REDHEAD No. 76
