Lyics

Come, ye discon-so-late, wher-e'er you lan-guish,

Come, at the shrine of God fer-vent-ly kneel;

Here bring your wounded hearts,

Here tell your an-guish 

Earth has no sor-row that heaven can not heal.



Joy of the des-o-late, light of the stray-ing,

Hope of the pen-i-tent, fadeless and pure!

Here speaks the Com-fort-er, ten-der-ly say-ing, 

Earth has no sor-row that haven can not cure.



Here see the bread of life; see wa-ters flow-ing

Forth from the throne of God, pure from a-bove;

Come to the feast of love; come, ev-er know-ing,

Earth has no sor-rows but heaven can remove.
