Lyics

Come, ye disconsolate, where'er you languish,

Come, at the shrine of God fervently kneel;

Here bring your wounded hearts, here tell your anguish-

Earth has no sorrow that heaven can not heal.



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 but that heaven can not cure.



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 heaven can remove.
