Laudes Domini ‎#877

877. "Balm in Gilead"

1 Peace, troubled soul, whose plaintive moan
Hath taught each scene the note of woe,
Cease thy complaint, suppress thy groan,
And let thy tears forget to flow;
Behold, the precious balm is found,
To lull thy pain, to heal thy wound.

2 Come, freely come, by sin oppresed;
On Jesus cast thy weighty load;
In him thy refuge find, thy rest,
Safe in the mercy of thy God;
Thy God's thy Saviour--glorious word!
For ever love and praise the Lord.
