SS&S 132 ‘Tis midnight : and on Olive's brow

SS&S 132  ‘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 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.
