Heaven’s tears of mercy, come a-runnin’ down.
Say no words, it is too soon, say no words out loud.
But wrap your quiet arms around, hide us in your cloud.
Come wash away this grief and pain,
and let all hearts be clean.
And bring the fairest flow’rs
to meet the sorrows we have seen.
A little lower than the angels we were born to be,
Yet which of all the creatures knows this misery?
Come, rain, come down, come, rain, come down,
Heaven’s tears of mercy, come a-runnin’ down.
