Come, ye disconsolate by Samuel Webbe — Lyrics
Come, ye disconsolate, where'er ye languish,
Come to the mercyseat, fervently kneel;
Here bring your wounded hearts, here tell your anguish;
Earth hath no sorrows that heaven cannot heal.
Joy of the desolate, Light of the straying,
Hope of the penitent, fadeless and pure!
