Author: Thomas Moore, 1779-1852; Thomas Hastings, 1784-1872 Hymnal: Lead Me, Guide Me (2nd ed.) #590 (2012) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Scripture: Isaiah 54:7 First Line: Come, ye disconsolate, where'er ye languish Lyrics: 1 Come, ye disconsolate, where’er ye languish --
Come to the mercy-seat, fervently kneel;
Here bring your wounded hearts, here tell your anguish:
Earth has no sorrow that heav’n cannot heal.
2 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 that heav’n cannot cure.”
3 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 heav’n can remove.
