'Tis Midnight; and on Olive's Brow
Crucifixion📖 "Then Jesus went with them to a place called Gethsemane" -Matt. 26:36

'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.
mp
'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.
mp p
'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.
mp f cr p
'Tis midnight; and from other plains Is borne the song that angels know; Unheard by mortals are the strains That sweetly soothe the Saviour's woe
