Lyrics
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 who hath in anguish knelt
Is not forsaken by his God.
Verse 3
Tis midnight and from heavenly plains
Is born the song that angels know;
Unheard by mortals are the strains
That sweetly soothe the savior's woe.
