[See, the sad fruit of sin appears]

He went out, and wept bitterly. —xxvi. 75.

See, the sad fruit of sin appears,
While Peter weeps a briny flood!
But that which costs the servant tears
Must cost the Lord His richest blood!
The sea of tears which Peter sheds
Can never purge his crimson sin,
But Jesus for the sinner pleads,
And pours His blood to make him clean.
