John 11:35: Jesus weeps, our tears to see
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
Jesus weeps, our tears to see!
Feels the soft infirmity;
Feels, whene'er a friend we mourn,
From our bleeding bosom torn:
Let Him still in spirit groan,
Make our every grief His own.
Till we all triumphant rise,
Call'd to meet Him in the skies.
Jesus weeps for sinners blind,
Mourns the death of all mankind;
Blesses us with sacred showers.
Sheds His tears to hallow ours;
Weeps to make our case His own,
For our guilty joys to' atone.
Wipes at last the mourner's eyes,
Sorrow's source for ever dries!
