Behold the tears that Mary shed—
Her many sins forgiv'n!
Her doubts and darkness all are fled
In peaceful hope of heav'n.
When o'er the Saviour's feet in pray'r
She pour'd a flood of grief,
And dry'd them with her flowing hair.
How soon she found relief!
Say, burden'd soul, whose num'rous sins
In dark array are set;
What canst thou do to mitigate
The terrors of thy debt?
Canst thou not love the friend who died
That burden to assume?
Who shrunk not from the crown of thorns,.
The scourge—the cross—the tomb?
If heavy is thy weight of guilt,
Thy love must greater be—
Then He, whose blood for man was spilt.
Will shed his peace on thee.
