Original text and translations

English text

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 hath no sorrows that heaven 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 hath no sorrows that heaven 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 hath no sorrows but heaven can remove.
