When Jesus Wept

The Ural Philharmonic Orchestra performs American composer William Schuman's "New England Triptych", under the direction of conductor Alan Heatherington. Featured in the video is an excerpt from the second movement, which is based on William Billings' hymn, "When Jesus Wept", the text of which is as follows:

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

Beautiful hyms, I just sang it this evening. And btw, it's not "following tear", it's "falling tear".

But regardless, this is beautiful whether it vocal or instrumental.
