Lyrics

Come, ye disconsolate

Words: Thomas Moore; Thomas Hastings
Composer: Nicholas P. Schliapin

Come, ye disconsolate, where’er ye languish,
Here health and peace are found, Life, Truth,
and Love;
Here bring your wounded hearts, here tell
your anguish;
Earth has no sorrow but Love can remove.

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 Love cannot cure.

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 Love can remove.
