’Tis midnight; and on Olive’s brow
The star is dimmed that lately shone
’Tis midnight; in the garden now
The suffering Saviour prays alone
2.
’Tis midnight; and from all removed
The Saviour wrestles ’lone with fears
E’en that discipline whom He loved
Heeds not his master’s grief and tears
3.
’Tis midnight; and for other’s guilt
The man of sorrows weeps in blood
Yet He that hath in anguish knelt
Is not forsaken by His God
4.
’Tis midnight; and from either-plain
Is borne the song that angels know
Unheard by mortals are the strains
That sweetly soothe the Saviour woe.
Amen
