'Tis Midnight; and on Olive's Brow

Author: William B. Tappan Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 640 hymnals 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 Savior prays alone. 2 'Tis midnight; and, from all removed, Emmanuel 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; from the heav'nly plains is borne the song that angels know: unheard by mortals are the strains that sweetly soothe the Savior's woe.

Shall man, O God of light and life

Author: Timothy Dwight Appears in 114 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Shall man, O God of light and life, Forever moulder in the grave? Canst Thou forget Thy glorious work, Thy promise and Thy pow'r to save? 2 Shall life revisit dying worms, And spread the joyful insect's wing! And, oh! shall man awake no more To see Thy face, Thy name to sing? 3 Cease, cease, ye vain desponding fears! When Christ, our Lord, from darkness sprung, Death, the last foe, was captive led, And heav'n with praise and wonder rung. 4 Him, the First-Fruits, His chosen sons Shall follow from the vanquished grave; He mounts His throne, the King of kings, His Church to quicken and to save. 5 Faith sees the bright, eternal doors Unfold to make His children way; They shall be clothed with endless life, And shine in everlasting day. 6 The trump shall sound, the dust awake; And from the tomb the slumb'rers spring; Through heav'n the joyful myriads rise, And hail their Savior and their King.
