Jesus Wept! Those Tears are Over lyrics

Jesus wept! those tears are over,

But His heart is still the same;

Kinsman, friend, and elder brother,

Is His everlasting name.

Savior, who can love like Thee,

Gracious One of Bethany?

When the pangs of trial seize me,

When the waves of sorrow roll,

I will lay my head on Jesus,

Refuge of the troubled soul.

Surely, none can feel like Thee,

Weeping One of Bethany!

Jesus wept! and still in glory

He can mark each mourner’s tear;

Loving to retrace the story

Of the hearts He solaced here;

Lord, when I am called to die,

Let me think of Bethany.

Jesus wept! that tear of sorrow

Is a legacy of love;

Yesterday, today, tomorrow,

He the same doth ever prove.

Thou art all in all to me,

Living One of Bethany.
