tears in the eyes of Gomer
the unfaithful wife of Hosea
a metaphor for the people
for the children of God
the body unholy, rebellious
following other idols
unfaithful to the Creator
to the bridegroom, our Lord
tears in the eyes of Gomer
in each lowly sinner
welcomed back by our Father
into the loving arms of Jesus
the bridegroom remains ready
waiting for his bride
tears in the eyes of Gomer
united with Christ in heaven
welcomed back by God
