Religion

Acts 20:37: And they all wept sore

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)

Religion

Jesus wept! and never chid
Tears of social tenderness;
Saints are not by Him forbid
Thus their frailty to confess,
Thus by passion pure to prove
Saints are men of grief and love.
