Now that you understand the meaning of those words, read through the words of the entire song (all 3 verses), and see if you don’t also see the power and the emotions of this song.Missable trophies: Multiple playthroughs requiredĪuthor: JimP2121, edited by BloodDragooner This would bring to mind an image of Christ literally lying face down on the ground, or possibly bowing to the ground before He begins His prayer. This word means to lie face down in a manner that is submissive, even to the point of meaning that there is no will to rise up. The only additional word I think might be somewhat new to a few is the word prostrate. It is a time when Christ was about to pour His heart out to His father. “All around was silent, save the night-wind’s wail.” It is setting more of the landscape around Christ, indicating that it was completely silent in the garden, and the only noise that can be heard is the whistling of the wind. The next line is much easier to understand in our modern language. It would be one of much stress, like a large dark weight is pressing down on Him, knowing that He was soon going to be crucified. This line of the song also helps to describe Jesus’ possible mental state at the time of His prayer. ![]() Imagine a night where the darkness seemed so heavy that it felt like it was consuming you. The night is so dark and consuming, it is like the black wing of a bird covering the entire valley. Jameson, is very poetically setting the scene of Jesus as He begins his prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane (Matthew 26:36-46). “Night with ebon pinion, brooded over the vale ” The writer, Love H. With those definitions, let’s look at the first line of that song again. Vale – this is a shortened way of saying the word valley. An example would be how a chicken sits on her eggs, or how a bird will cover her young with her wing. To simplify it, you just need to know that this word is referring to a section of a bird’s wing.īrooded – the verb form of the word brood, which is how it is used in this song, refers to the act of caring for or incubating. I’m not a veterinarian, but from best I can tell it’s like the bird’s version of the human wrist. The pinion in this song is referring to the pinion joint in the wing of a bird. Pinion – if you have an engineering background, you may be thinking of a type of gear, but this song is not about gears. The word ebony is a heavy, blackish wood from various tropical trees. These definitions are coming from then summarized into my own wording.Įbon – this word refers to something that is black or very dark. I really think this will help you to better understand the song. Let’s go through the definition of the some of the words for the song Night, with Ebon Pinion. ![]() If we don’t understand what we are saying, how can we really do that? Or better yet, how do we know that we aren’t teaching each other error in what we are saying? When we sing, we are doing more than singing along with a song. If we sing the words to a song and don’t even know what the words mean, how can we possibly be teaching and admonishing one another (Colossians 3:16). How would the preacher know whether or not he was speaking false doctrine? ![]() What’s the big deal?” Would you ever want your preacher to stand in the pulpit and use words that he doesn’t understand? Would you want someone to lead a prayer and speak words that he’s only heard someone else say without knowing their true meaning? You can see the obvious danger in that. Unfortunately, many of us will sing this and other songs (just like I did for many years) without knowing the meaning of the words. Once I learned the meaning of the words, it has become to me one of the more beautiful and moving songs that we sing. As I’ve gotten older, it has become one of my favorites. And I always remember thinking, “An ebon pinion? What in the world is that? And who talks like that anymore?” It was almost always sang right before communion. I remember singing this song as a kid during worship services. Night with ebon pinion, brooded o’er the vale
