Drop, drop, slow tears

(SONG 46. 10.10)
1.

Drop, drop, slow tears, and bathe those beauteous feet,
which brought from heav'n the news and Prince of peace.

2.

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

3.

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

This hymn is in the public domain.
