时已夜半，晚星久沉，救主身临橄榄山岑；客西马尼，深夜寂静，救主在内祈祷、儆醒。
'Tis midnight, and on Olive's brow
The star is dimmed that lately shone;
'Tis midnight in the garden now,
The suff'ring Savior prays alone.

时已夜半，无人陪同，救主独自祈祷、伤痛；虽是爱徒也都沉睡，不顾救主伤心、流泪。
'Tis midnight, and from all removed,
The Savior wrestles lone with fears-
E'en that disciple whom He loved
Heeds not his Master's grief and tears.

时已夜半，忧伤至极，救主祈祷汗如血滴；天使来临加祂身力，证明神未将祂撇弃。
'Tis midnight, and for other's guilt
The Man of Sorrows weeps in blood;
Yet He that hath in anguish knelt
Is not forsaken by His God.

时已夜半，祈祷已尽，深知苦杯不能不饮，甘愿成就父神旨意，去替罪人担罪舍己。
'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.
