Jesus Weeps for Man

Benjamin Beddome (1787) • English

Primary Scripture: Luke 11:35

Verse 1

So fair a face bedewed with tears; What beauty e’en in grief appears! He wept, he bled, he died for you; What more, ye saints, could Jesus do?

Verse 2

Enthroned above, with equal glow His warm affections downward flow; In our distress he bears a part, And feels a sympathetic smart.

Verse 3

Still his compassions are the same; He knows the frailty of our frame; Our heaviest burdens he sustains; Shares in our sorrows and our pains.
