Drop, Drop, Slow Tears

Drop

drop

slow tears

And bathe those beau­te­ous feet

Which brought from Heav’n

The news and Prince of Peace.

Cease not

wet tears

His mer­cies to en­treat;

To cry for ven­geance:

Sin doth nev­er cease.

In your deep floods

Drown all my faults and fears;

Nor let His eye see

Sin

but through my tears.
