I would not live alway: I ask not to stay Where storm after storm rises dark o'er the way;

The few lurid mornings that dawn on us here, Are enough for life's woes,full enough for its cheer.

here tell your anguish; Earth has no sorrow that heaven can-not heal.

Invitation to the Mercy-Seat.

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.

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 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 has no sorrow, but heaven can remove.
