Lyics

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.



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 you all in all.



Oh believe the record true,

God to you his Son hath given!

You may now be happy too;

Find on earth the life of heaven;

Live the life of heaven above,

All the life of glorious love.
