He Wept For Me

by Benjamin Beddome

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

The son of God in tears
Angels with wonder see!
Be thou astonished, O my soul,
He shed those tears for thee.

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

Joy beams in every eye,
And fills each holy heart;
All join to sound the triumph high
In praise to bear their part.

Chorus

He wept, he wept,
He wept for me,
For me, for me,
He wept for me.
