¶Lyrics / Text

1. You ran from oppression, Crossed the baking sand; Found your own safety In an alien land. And Rachel's still weeping, weeping, Weeping for her children. 2. And you found a haven In that far off place; Shielded and welcomed By a foreign race, And Rachel's still weeping, weeping, Weeping for her children. 3. Fled here as a stranger; Ran in hope and fear. What kind of welcome Shall this child find here? And Rachel's still weeping, weeping, Weeping for her children. 4. Now torn from my mother, Caged in a free land, Immigrant Jesus, Come and take my hand. And Rachel's still weeping, weeping, Weeping for her children.
