¶Liedtext

The Earth trembled, and Heav'n's clos'd Eye Was loth to see the Lord of Glory die; The Sky was clad in Mourning, and the Spheres Forgot their harmony; the Clouds drop'd Tears: Th'ambitious Dead arose to give him room, And ev'ry Grave did gape to be his Tomb. Th'affrighted Heav'ns sent down Elegious Thunder; The World's Foundation loos'd to lose its Founder. Th'impatient Temple rent her Veil in two, To teach our Hearts what our sad Hearts should do. Can senseless things do this, and shall not I Melt one poor drop, to see my Saviour die? Drill forth my Tears, and trickle one by one, 'Till you have pierc'd this Heart of mine, this Stone.
