Lyics

Did Christ o'er sinners weep,

And shall our cheeks be dry?

Let tears of penitential grief

Flow forth from ev'ry eye.



The Son of God in tears,

The wond'ring angels see;

Be thou astonish'd, O my soul,

He shed those tears for thee.



He wept that we might weep,

Each sin demands a tear,

In heav'n alone no sin is found

And there's no weeping there.
