Come, Ye Disconsolate

Words and music by Thomas Moore & Samuel Webbe · 1816

Key of F · 69 BPM · 4/4 · Comfort,Grace · Matthew 11:28

Verse 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 heaven cannot heal.

Verse 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."

Verse 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.
