Weeping And Wailing Needs Must Be. (Hymn)

Topics: classic

"Blessed are ye that weep now."     Weeping and wailing needs must be         When Love His name shall disavow,     When christen'd men His wrath shall dree,     Who mercy scorn'd in this their day;     But what? He turns not yet away,         Not yet - not now.     Let me not, waken'd after sleep,         Behold a Judge with lowering brow,     The world must weep, and I must weep     Those sins that nail'd Thee on the tree,     Lord Jesu, of Thy clemency.         Let it be NOW.     Let us have weeping NOW for sin,         And not us only; let Thy tears     Avail the tears of many to win;     Weep with us, Jesu, kind art Thou;     We that have sinn'd many long years,         Let us weep NOW;     And then, waked up, behold Thy face,         Who did forgive us. See Thy brow -     Beautiful - learn Thy love and grace.     Then wilt Thou wipe away our tears,     And comfort in th' all-hallow'd spheres,         Them that weep now.
