ALL YE WHO SEEK A COMFORT SURE

All ye who seek a comfort sure\nIn trouble and distress,\nWhatever sorrow vex the mind,\nOr guilt the soul oppress.\n2. Jesus, who gave himself for you\nUpon the Cross to die,\nOpens to you his sacred heart, -\nOh, to that Heart draw nigh.\n3. Ye hear how kindly He invites;\nYe hear His words so blest;\n“All ye that labour, come to me,\nAnd I will give you rest”.\n4. What meeker than the Saviour’s heart?\nAs on the Cross he lay,\nIt did his murderers forgive,\nAnd for their pardon pray.\n5. O Heart! Thou joy of Saints on high!\nThou hope of sinners here!\nAttracted by those loving words,\nTo thee I lift my prayer.\n6. Wash thou my wounds in that dear blood\nWhich forth from thee doth flow;\nNew grace, new hope inspire; a new\nAnd better heart bestow.
