483a. Come, ye disconsolate, where'er ye languish

1 Come, you disconsolate, where'er yelanguish;
Come to the mercy-seat, fervently kneel;
Here bring your wounded hearts, here tell your anguish;--
Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal.

2 Joy of the desolate, light of the straying,
Hope, when all others die, fadeless and pure!
Here speaks the Comforter, tenderly saying,
Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot cure.

3 Here see the Bread of Life; see waters flowing
Forth from the throne of God, pure from above;
Come to the feast of love; come, ever knowing
Earth has no sorrow but Heaven can remove.
