LyicsNight 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 sweat, and tears, and blood,
Prostrate in the garden,
Raised his voice to God.
Smitten for offenses
Which were not his own
He for our transgressions
Had to weep alone;
No friend, with words of comfort
Or hand to help, was there,
When the meek and lowly
Bowed himself in prayer.
Abba, Father! Father!
If indeed it may,
Let this cup of anguish
Pass from me away;
Yet if it must be suffered
By me, thine only son,
Abba, Father! Father!
Let thy will be done.
