Text Information:

This text conveys well the paradox of despair and expectancy felt on Maundy Thursday. The somber repetition of “this night” here contrasts with and prepares for the joyful “this is the night” repeated in the Exsultet, the ancient Easter hymn at the lighting of the paschal candle.
