Lyrics

Drop, drop, slow tears,
and bathe those beauteous feet,
which brought from heaven
the news and Prince of Peace.


Cease not, wet eyes,
his mercies to entreat;
to cry for vengeance
sin doth never cease.


In your deep floods
drown all my faults and fears;
nor let his eye see sin,
but through my tears.
