'Tis midnight, and on Olive's brow
|
|
| 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, |
| | The Savior wrestles lone with fears- |
| | E'en that disciple 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 ether-plains |
| | Is borne the song that angels know- |
| | Unheard by mortals are the strains |
| | That sweetly soothe the Savior's woe. |
