1 'Tis midnight - and on Olive's brow,
The star is dimmed that lately shown;
'Tis midnight - in the garden now
The suff'ring Saviour prays alone.
2 'Tis midnight - and from all removed,
The Saior wrestles lone with fears,
E'en the disciple that He loved
Heeds not His Master's grief and tears.
3 'Tis midnight - and for others' 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 ether plains,
Is borne the song that angels know:
Unheard by mortals are the strains
That sweetly soothe the Savior's woe.
