THE REDEEMER'S TEARS.

By Rev. E. P. Marvin

Hosannas filled the air, Ascending Olivet; But as they near the city drew Jesus beheld and wept.
He wept o'er sinners lost,— The loving Son of God. Amazing grief! He shed his tears For those who shed his blood.
Gethsemane was near, The trial and the cross; But all forgotten was his woe, In pity for the lost.
He knew their crimson guilt, He knew their righteous doom; Yet did his heart in pity melt, O'er judgment woes to come.
O suffering Son of God, Let me thy spirit share: Who shed thy tears and precious blood, To save us from despair.
Oh, may my life redeemed, Now consecrated be, To save the perishing from death, And bring them home to thee! —Rev. E. P. Marvin, in Messiah's Herald.
