Author: Thomas Moore (1779-1852); Thomas Hasting (1784-1872) Hymnal: Lift Every Voice and Sing II #147 (1993) First Line: Come, ye disconsolate, where’er ye languish Lyrics: 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 heav’n 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 heav’n 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 heav’n can remove. Topics: Hymns and Songs Communion Languages: English Tune Title: [Come, ye disconsolate, where’er ye languish]
