Did Christ o'er sinners weep?

1

Did Christ o'er sinners weep?And shall our cheeks be dry?Let floods of penitential griefBurst 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.
