Refrain: Weeping Jesus died for you, Weeping Jesus died for you, Weeping Jesus died for you, He died, He died for you. 2 Behold, He weeps in Gethsemane! His soul with sorrow is filled; His own were sleeping while thus he prayed, "Not my will but as Thou hast willed." [Refrain] 3 Behold, He weeps while at Bethany! Our Christ, how tender was He; He showed compassion and sympathy, Thus He comforts thee and me. [Refrain] Scripture: John 11:35 Languages: English Tune Title: [Behold, he weeps o'er Jerusalem!]
