Come, ye who know the Saviour's love,
And his indulgent mercies prove:
In cheerful songs his praise express,
For he'll not leave you comfortless.
He ever acts the Saviour's part!
With strong compassions in his heart;
The least and weakest saint he'll bless,
Nor will he leave him comfortless.
His wisdom, goodness, power and care,
They largely, sweetly, daily share;
He will their every fear suppress,
Nor will he leave them comfortless.
While they are sojourners below,
And travel through this world of woe,
In storms and floods of deep distress,
He will not leave them comfortless.
So when they pass death's gloomy vale,
And flesh and mortal powers fail,
Their dying lips shall then confess,
He does not leave them comfortless.
When they at last shall meet above,
In the blest world of joy and love,
Their raptured songs will then express,
He has not left them comfortless.
Thanks to thy name, our dearest Lord,
For every promise in thy word;
But, O, with this our hearts impress,
I will not leave you comfortless.
