Traditional Swedish melody

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

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

3.'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.

4.'Tis midnight, and from ether-plains
Is borne the song that angels know
Unheard by mortals are the strains
That sweetly soothe the Savior's woe.
