This hymn has a unique tune.

 
 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 comfortless, 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.
