Did Christ O'er Sinners Weep?

1Did Christ o'er sinners weep?
And shall our cheeks be dry?
Let floods of penitential grief
Burst forth from every eye.

2The Son of God in tears,
The wondering angels see!
Be thou astonished, O my soul!
He shed those tears for thee.

3He wept that we might weep;
Each sin demands a tear;
In heaven alone no sin is found,
And there's no weeping there.
