When they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailer to keep them safely: who, having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks. And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them. (Acts 16:23‑25) |
At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto Thee. (Psa. 119:62) |
But ’tis the praise at midnight That gives the foe alarm, That glorifies your Savior, And bares His strong right arm. |
The prison doors will open, The dungeon gleam with light, And sin-chained souls around you Shall see your Savior’s might. |
