LyicsWeary 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.
