Lyics

Come ye disconsolate, where -e'ere you languish,

Come, at the shrine of God fervently kneel;

Here bring you wounded hearts, here tell your anguish

Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal.



Joy of the desolate, light of the straying,

Hope, when all others die, fadeless and pure:

Here speaks the Comforter in God's name saying,

Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot cure.
