Weepers Wanted

Father's Day

"There followed Him a great company of people, and of women, which also bewailed and lamented Him. But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for Me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.... For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry?" (Luke 23:27-31).

Fathers and mothers of this weary world:
Weep for yourselves and your children therein.
Weep for the lost before they are hurled
Into eternity yet in their sin.

Weep if you find you're unable to cry
For souls yet in darkness the Lord longs to save.
Though the green tree is now withered and dry,
Weep while there's hope on this side of the grave.
