Christian Hymns ‎#162

162. Come, ye disconsolate, where'er ye languish

1 Come, ye disconsolate, where’er ye languish,
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 of the penitent, 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.
