Text: | Did Christ o'er sinners weep? |
Author: | Benjamin Beddome |
Tune: | CONTRITION |
Composer: | Edwin Barnes |
1 Did Christ o'er sinners weep?
And shall our cheeks be dry?
Let floods of penitential grief
Burst forth from every eye.
2 The Son of God in tears,
The wondering angels see!
Be thou astonished, O my soul!
He shed those tears for thee.
3 He wept that we might weep;
Each sin demands a tear;
In heaven alone no sin is found,
And there's no weeping there.
