[Did Christ o'er sinner's weep]

[_]

The following poem is scored for music in the source text.

1.

Did Christ o'er sinner's weep?
And shall our cheeks be dry?
Let floods of penitential grief
Burst forth from ev'ry eye.

2.

The Son of God in tears,
Angels with wonder see,
Be thou astonish'd, O my soul!
He shed those tears for thee.

3.

He went that we might weep,
Each sin demands a tear,
In heav'n alone no sin is found,
And there's no weeping there
