S. M.
He beheld the city, and wept over it.
Luke 19:41.
Did Christ o’er sinners weep,
And shall our cheeks be dry?
Let tears of penitential grief
Flow forth from every eye.
2 The Son of God in tears,
The wondering angels see;
Be thou astonished, O my soul,
He shed those tears for thee.
3 He wept that we might weep,
Each sin demands a tear,
In heaven alone no sin is found
And there’s no weeping there.
Beddome.
