Author: W. B. Tappan Hymnal: The New Wonderful Songs for Work and Worship #264 (1938) First Line: 'Tis midnight; and on Olive's brow Lyrics: 1 ’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.
2 ’Tis midnight; and from all removed
The Saviour wrestles lone with fears;
E’en that disciple whom 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, who hath in anguish knelt,
Is not forsaken by His God.
4 'Tis midnight; and from other plains
Is borne the song that angels know;
Unheard by mortals are the strains
That sweetly soothe the Saviour’s woe. Scripture: Matthew 26:38 Languages: English Tune Title: ['Tis midnight; and on Olive's brow]
