Nancy Wertsch: Music
When Jesus Wept
(C-171. SATB (div), a cappella. Nancy Wertsch Music. View Sample Page)
William Billings (1746-1800). Duration: 3:30-4:00 minutes.
When Jesus wept, the falling tear
In mercy flowed beyond all bound;
When Jesus groaned, a trembling fear
seized all the guilty world around.
O let my name engraven stand
Both on Thy heart and on Thy hand.
Seal me upon Thine arm and wear
That pledge of love forever there.
