What Joy Is Weeping

For what joy is weeping
whilst feeling bitter within
Wash thou soul of darkness
Thy heart, cleanse of sin

look thou upon Him
who looks down from the cross
He didn't die for himself
but for love of those lost

For all man does flounder
within thy faith that they see
For temptations and trials
shall be cast upon thee

Thy strength, from heaven above
Thou shall cry out faithfully
Wittness that He loves us all
Now thou weeps joyfully
