Hymns and Devotions for Daily Worship ‎#247

247. Come, Ye Disconsolate

1. Come, ye disconsolate, wheree'er ye languish;
Come to the mercy seat; fervently kneel;
Here bring your wounded hearts; here tell your anguish;
Earth has no sorrows that Heav'n cannot heal.

2. Joy of the comfortless, light of the straying,
Hope of the penitent, fadeless and pure;
Here speaks the Comforter, tenderly saying
Earth has no sorrows 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 prepared, come ever knowing
Earth has no sorrows that Heav'n can't remove.
