The Son of God stood by and wept;—

The Son of God stood by and wept;—

 

And, father, here are tears for thee,

And, father, here are tears for thee,

 

The babe that prattled on thy knee,

The babe that prattled on thy knee,

 

And grew in beauty by thy side,

And grew in beauty by thy side,

 

Till warm affection's glowing tide

Till warm affection's glowing tide

 

Gushed from the fountain in thy breast,

Gushed from the fountain in thy breast,

 

To cherish her who made thee blest.
