William Billings, When Jesus Wept

A simple, somber, one verse piece originally meant to be sung in rounds. I don't know if QXR would have a recording of it - you don't seem to play many American Colonial pieces. I just think it is beautiful and appropriate.

When Jesus Wept (Round)
(William Billings)

When Jesus wept, a falling tear
In mercy flowed beyond all bound
When Jesus groaned, a trembling fear
Seized all the guilty world around,
