Come, ye disconsolate by Adam Geibel — Lyrics
1 Come, you disconsolate, where'er you languish;
come to the mercy seat, fervently kneel.
Here bring your wounded hearts, here tell your anguish;
earth has no sorrows that heaven cannot heal.
2 Joy of the desolate, light of the straying,
hope of the penitent, fadeless and pure!

About Come, ye disconsolate
Come, ye disconsolate is a sacred anthem for SATB choir, suitable for occasions of comfort and healing. The text addresses those who are suffering, inviting them to a place of solace and divine mercy. It offers hope and reassurance, stating that 'earth has no sorrows that heaven cannot heal,' cure, or remove. The music of Adam Geibel supports this message of comfort, with the choir offering a message of hope and redemption. The English lyrics provide a clear and direct expression of faith and trust in a higher power's ability to alleviate earthly pain and bring spiritual renewal.
