lyrics

'Tis midnight; and on Olive's brow
The star is dimmed that lately shown:
'Tis midnight; in the garden now,
The suffering Savior stands alone.

Refrain
All alone for me He cried, all alone for me He died.
'Tis midnight, My Savior prays alone.

'Tis midnight; and, from all removed
Emmanuel wrestles lone with fears:
E'en the disciple that He loved
Heeds not his Master's grief and tears.

Refrain

'Tis midnight; and, for others' guilt,
The Man of Sorrows weeps in blood:
Yet He that hath in anguish knelt
Is not forsaken by His God.

Refrain

'Tis midnight; from the heavenly plains
Is born the song that angels know:
Unheard by mortals are the strains
That sweetly soothe the Savior's woe.

Refrain

Words: William B. Tappan, 1822; Alt. Bruce Benedict, 2006
Music: Laura Bradham and Bruce Benedict, 2006
