LyicsJesus wept! those tears are over,
But his heart is still the same;
Kinsman, Friend, and Elder Brother,
Is his everlasting name.
Savior, who can love like thee?
Gracious one of Bethany!
When the pangs of trial seize us,
When the waves of sorrow roll,
I will lay my head on Jesus,
Pillow of the troubled soul.
Truly, none can feel like thee,
Weeping one of Bethany!
Jesus wept! and still in glory,
He can mark each mourner's fear,
Living to retrace the story
Of the hearts he solaced here.
Lord, when I am called to die,
Let me think of Bethany!
Jesus wept! that tear of sorrow
Is a legacy of love;
Yesterday, today, tomorrow,
He the same shall ever prove.
Thou art all in all to me,
Living one of Bethany!
