Lyrics
Verse 1: The friend of Christ, by death embraced His soul by God was kept: That He might glorify His Son The day when Jesus wept.
Verse 2: Men wondered why He long delayed as friends their vigil kept. They questioned if He had the pow’r, The day when Jesus wept.
Verse 3: In anguish sore, the sisters cried in grief while Laz’rus ‘slept.’ The human pains of Christ were seen The day when Jesus wept.
Verse 4: At His command the stone was moved. He raised the one who ‘slept’. Our Lord displayed His might and pow’r The day when Jesus wept.
