Jesus wept! those tears are over
1
Jesus wept! those tears are over,But his heart is still the same;Kinsman, Friend, and elder Brother,Is his everlasting name.Saviour, who can love like thee,Gracious One of Bethany?
2
When the pangs of trial seize us,When the waves of sorrow roll,I will lay my head on Jesus,Pillow of the troubled soul:Surely, none can feel like thee,Weeping One of Bethany!
3
Jesus wept! and still in gloryHe can mark each mourner's tear,Living to retrace the storyOf the hearts he solaced here.Lord, if I am called to die,Let me think of Bethany.
4
Jesus wept! those tears of sorrowAre a legacy of love;Yesterday, to-day, to-morrow,He the same doth ever prove.Thou art all in all to me,Living One of Bethany!
