Jesus Wept! Those Tears Are Over

lyricist: John Macduff, 1853
Composer: Heathcote Statham

Jesus wept! those tears are ov­er

But His heart is still the same;

Kinsman

friend

and eld­er bro­ther

Is His ev­er­last­ing name.

Savior

who can love like Thee

Gracious One of Beth­any?

When the pangs of tri­al seize us

When the waves of sor­row roll

I will lay my head on Je­sus

Refuge of the trou­bled soul.

Surely

none can feel like Thee

Weeping One of Beth­any!

Jesus wept! and still in glo­ry

He can mark each mourn­er’s tear;

Loving to re­trace the sto­ry

Of the hearts He so­laced here.

Lord

when I am called to die

Let me think of Beth­any.

Jesus wept! that tear of sor­row

Is a le­ga­cy of love;

Yesterday

to­day

to­mor­row

He the same doth ev­er prove

Thou art all in all to me

Loving One of Beth­any!
