Verse 1
'Tis midnight; and on Olives' brow The star is dimmed that lately shown; 'Tis midnight in the garden, now The suffering Savior prays alone.
Verse 2
'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.
Verse 3
'Tis midnight and from heav'nly plains Is borne the song that angels know; Unheard by mortals are the strains That sweetly soothe the Savior's woe.
