- 1Weary souls, that 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.
- 2Find 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.
- 3O 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.
- 4This the universal bliss,
- Bliss for every soul designed;
- God's original promise this,
- God's great gift to all mankind
- Blest in Christ this moment be!
- Blest to all eternity!
