Lyrics
'Tis midnight, and on Olive's brow
The star is dimmed that lately shone;
'Tis midnight; in the garden now
The suff'ring Saviour prays alone.
'Tis midnight, and, from all removed,
The Saviour wrestles lone with fears:
E'en the disciple that He loved
Heeds not his Master's grief and tears.
'Tis midnight, and, for others' guilt,
The Man of Sorrows weeps in blood;
Yet He, who hath in anguish knelt,
Is not forsaken by His God.
'Tis midnight; and from ether plains
Is borne the song that angels know;
Unheard by mortals are the strains
That sweetly soothe the Saviour's woe.
The star is dimmed that lately shone;
'Tis midnight; in the garden now
The suff'ring Saviour prays alone.
'Tis midnight, and, from all removed,
The Saviour wrestles lone with fears:
E'en the disciple that He loved
Heeds not his Master's grief and tears.
'Tis midnight, and, for others' guilt,
The Man of Sorrows weeps in blood;
Yet He, who hath in anguish knelt,
Is not forsaken by His God.
'Tis midnight; and from ether plains
Is borne the song that angels know;
Unheard by mortals are the strains
That sweetly soothe the Saviour's woe.
