Sheet music
- 1Night, with ebon pinion,Brooded o'er the vale;All around was silent,Save the night-wind's wail,When Christ, the Man of Sorrows,In tears and sweat as blood,Prostrate in the garden,Raised His voice to God.
- 2Smitten for offensesWhich were not His own,He, for our transgressions,Had to weep alone;No friend with words to comfort,Nor hand to help was there,When the Meek and LowlyHumbly bowed in prayer.
- 3"Abba, Father, Father, if indeed it may,Let this cup of anguishPass from Me, I pray;Yet, if it must be suffered,By Me, Thine only Son,Abba, Father, Father,Let Thy will be done."
