1
Weeping sinners, dry your tears,
Jesus on the throne appears;
Mercy comes with balmy wings,
Bids you His salvation sing.
WEEPING sinner, dry your tears,, Stanza 1
2
Peace He brings you by His death,
Peace He speaks with ev'ry breath;
Can you slight such heav'nly charms?
Flee, O flee to Jesus' arms.
WEEPING sinner, dry your tears,, Stanza 8
