Go to dark Gethsemane by T. Tertius Noble — Lyrics
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;
O the wormwood and the gall!
O the pangs His soul sustained!

About Go to dark Gethsemane
These solemn words draw us into the Passion narrative, from the agony in the Garden of Gethsemane to the crucifixion at Calvary. The text invites the singer to learn from Christ's suffering and sacrifice, urging them to "watch with Him one bitter hour" and "learn of Him to bear the Cross."
This setting for SATB choir, in English, transforms the powerful devotional text into a profound musical experience. The composer T. Tertius Noble crafts a sacred anthem that resonates with the profound sorrow and ultimate redemptive power of the events described, offering a space for reflection and spiritual contemplation.
