|  | 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. |
