Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #324 (1917) Lyrics: 1 Weary souls, that wander wide
From the central point of bliss,
Turn to Jesus crucified,
Fly to those dear wounds of His:
Sink into the purple flood;
Rise into the life of God.
2 Find in Christ the way of peace,
Peace unspeakable, unknown;
By His pain He gives you ease,
Life by His expiring groan:
Rise, exalted by His fall;
Find in Christ your all in all.
3 O believe the record true,
God to you His Son hath given!
Ye may now be happy too,
Find on earth the life of heaven:
Live the life of heaven above,
All the life of glorious love.
4 This the universal bliss,
Bliss for every soul designed;
God's original promise this,
God's great gift to all mankind
Blest in Christ this moment be!
Blest to all eternity!
