5. Weeping Jesus

1 Behold, He weeps o'er Jerusalem!
His soul with pity doth thrill;
He would have saved them but "they would not,"
Thus He died on Calv'ry's hill.

Refrain:
Weeping Jesus died for you,
Weeping Jesus died for you,
Weeping Jesus died for you,
He died, He died for you.

2 Behold, He weeps in Gethsemane!
His soul with sorrow is filled;
His own were sleeping while thus he prayed,
"Not my will but as Thou hast willed." [Refrain]

3 Behold, He weeps while at Bethany!
Our Christ, how tender was He;
He showed compassion and sympathy,
Thus He comforts thee and me. [Refrain]
