Rising on the midnight air!
"Let this cup pass from Thy Son:
Not my will, but Thine be done!"
2 O the tears and bloody sweat
Falling fast on Olivet!
In Thy lonely agony,
Shedding crimson tears for me!
3 O what wrath of earth and hell
On Thy head unpitying fell,
When Thy passion time began,
Bearer of the sin of man!
4 Waken me from sinful sleep;
Faithful, loving, make me keep,
Watching ev'ry hour with Thee
Who didst agonize for me! Topics: Book One: Hymns, Songs, Chorales; Jesus Christ Suffering, Death of Scripture: Matthew 26:39 Used With Tune: ALBERTSON
