'Tis midnight; and on Olive's browThe star is dimmed that lately shone:'Tis midnight in the garden nowThe suff'ring Saviour prays alone.'Tis midnight; and from all removed,The Saviour wrestles lone with fears:E'en that disciple whom He lovedHeeds not his Master's grief and tears.'Tis midnight; and for other's guiltThe Man of Sorrows weeps in blood;Yet He Who hath in anguish kneltIs not forsaken by His God.'Tis midnight; and with traitor's kissBetrayed is now the Lord of Bliss:He now is led to grief and painTo earn for me eternal gain.
