Lyics

DID Christ o'er sinners weep,

And shall our cheeks be dry?

Let tears of penitential grief

Flow forth from every 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.
