Did Christ o’er Sinners Weep?

Did Christ o’er sin­ners weep

And shall our cheeks be dry?

Let floods of pe­ni­ten­tial grief

Burst forth from ev­ery eye.

The Son of God in tears

The won­der­ing an­gels see!

Be thou as­ton­ished

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.
