RCCG Hymn 157
'Tis Midnight; and on Olive's Brow
"Then Jesus went with them to a place called Gethsemane." - Matt. 26:36
1
'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.
2
'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.
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 other plains Is borne the song that angels know; Unheard by mortals are the strains That sweetly soothe the Saviour's woe.
