O that warning cry obey! Now prepare for him a way; let the valleys rise to meet him, and the hills bow down to greet him. 3 Make ye straight what long was crookedl make the rougher places plain; let your hearts be true and humble, as befits his holy reign. For the glory of the Lord now o'er earth is shed abroad, and all flesh shall see the token that his word is never broken.

O'er Jerusalem Thou Weepest

Author: Anna B. Hoppe Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Appears in 8 hymnals Matching Instances: 4 Lyrics: 1. O’er Jerusalem Thou weepest In compassion, dearest Lord, Love divine, of love the deepest, O’er Thine erring Israel poured, Crieth out in bitter moan: O loved city, hadst thou known This thy day of visitation, Thou wouldst not reject salvation. 2. By the love Thy tears are telling, O Thou Lamb for sinners slain, Make my heart Thy temple dwelling, Purged from every guilty stain. Oh, forgive, forgive my sin! Cleanse me, cleanse me, Lord, within! I am Thine since Thou hast sought me, Since Thy precious blood hath bought me. 3. O Thou Lord of my salvation, Grant my soul Thy blood-bought peace. By Thy tears of lamentation Bid my faith and love increase. Grant me grace to love Thy Word, Grace to keep the message heard, Grace to own Thee as my treasure, Grace to love Thee without measure.
