Dark was the night and cold the ground
On which my Lord was laid
His sweat like drops of blood ran down
In agony he prayed
Been a-listening all the night long
Oh, listening all the day
A-listening all the night long
To hear some sinner pray
Been a-listening all the night long
Oh, listening all the day
A-listening all the night long
Hear some sinner pray
Father, remove this bitter cup
If that's Thy sacred will
If not, content to drink it up
Pleasures I fulfill
Been a-listening all the night long
Oh, listening all the day
Been a-listening all night long
Hear some sinner pray
A-listening all the night long
Oh, listening all the day
Been a-listening all the night long
Hear some sinner pray
Now, some say John, he's a Baptist
Oh, he's nothing but a Jew
But the Holy Bible tell us
John was a preacher too
Been a-listening all the night long
Oh, listening all the day
Been a-listening all the night long
Hear some sinner pray
A-listening all the night long
Oh, listening all the day
Been a-listening all the night long
Hear some sinner pray
Now, a Man, he came from Heaven
Oh, and camped upon the ground
And whence He sound the trumpet
Holy love come down
Been a-listening all the night long
Oh, listening all the day
Been a-listening all the night long
Hear some sinner pray
A-listening all the night long
Oh, listening all the day
Been a-listening all the night long
To hear some sinner pray
Been a-listening all the night long
Oh, listening all the day
Been a-listening all the night long
To hear some sinner pray
A-listening all the night long
Oh, listening all the day
Was a-listening all the night long
Hear some sinner pray
