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.
