come to the mercy seat, fervently kneel.
here bring your wounded hearts; here tell your anguish:
earth has no sorrows 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 sorrows 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 sorrows but heaven can remove. Topics: Church Year Lent; Comfort / Consolation; Communion; Feast / Food; Gratitude; Healing / Health; Heaven; Hope; Water Languages: English Tune Title: CONSOLATION
