‘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 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 ether-plains Ts borne the song that angels know; Unheard by mortals are the strains That sweetly soothe the Saviour's woe.
