Weary Souls, That Wander Wide

Weary souls

who wan­der wide

From the central point of bliss

Turn to Je­sus cru­ci­fied

Fly to those dear wounds of His:

Sink in­to the pur­ple flood;

Rise in­to the life of God.

Find in Christ the way of peace

Peace un­speak­able

un­known;

By His pain He gives you ease

Life by His ex­pir­ing groan:

Rise

ex­alt­ed by His fall

Find in Christ your all in all.

O be­lieve the re­cord true

God to you His Son hath giv­en;

Ye may now be happy

too

Find on earth the life of Heav­en:

Live the life of Heav­en ab­ove

All the life of glo­ri­ous love.

This the uni­vers­al bliss

Bliss for ev­ery soul de­signed;

God’s primeval promise this

God’s great gift to all man­kind:

Blest in Christ this mo­ment be

Blest to all eter­ni­ty!
