Hymnal: Laudes Domini #383 (1884) First Line: Jesus wept! those tears are over Lyrics: 1 Jesus wept! those tears are over,
But his heart is still the same;
Kinsman, Friend, and Elder Brother,
Is his everlasting name.
Saviour, who can love like thee,
Gracious One of Bethany?
2 When the pangs of trial seize us,
When the waves of sorrow roll,
I will lay my head on Jesus,
Pillow of the troubled soul.
Surely, none can feel like thee,
Weeping One of Bethany!
3 Jesus wept! and still in glory,
He can mark each mourner’s tear;
Living to retrace the story
Of the hearts he solaced here.
Lord, when I am called to die,
Let me think of Bethany.
4 Jesus wept! that tear of sorrow
Is a legacy of love;
Yesterday, to-day, tomorrow,
He the same does ever prove.
Thou art all in all to me,
Living One of Bethany! Languages: English Tune Title: ST. JOSEPH
