Lyics

WEARY souls, that wander wide

From the source of life and 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 your all in all.



O believe the record true,

God to you His Son hath giv'n!

You may now be happy too,

Find on earth the life of heav'n;

Live the life of heav'n above,

All the life of glorious love.
