The Cyber Hymnal ‎#13710

13710. Weep, Zion, Weep

1 Weep, Zion, weep, in death’s deep sleep
Your king His head has bowèd;
Closèd are those lips, whence late
Truth and mercy flowèd.

2 In strains of woe our songs shall flow;
What love is here displayèd;
See God’s dear and only Son
To a tomb conveyèd.

3 Yet, O rejoice with heart and voice,
Soon will He rise most glorious;
And at the right hand of God
Seat Himself victorious.
