ALL YE WHO SEEK A COMFORT SURE

 A HYMN FOR THE 25TH AND LAST SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST


By Fr. Edward Caswall

 

1 All ye who seek a comfort sure

In sadness and distress,

Whatever sorrow burdens you,

Whatever griefs oppress:

When Jesus gave himself for us

And died upon the tree,

His heart was pierced for love of us;

He died to set us free.

 

2 Now hear him as he speaks to us

Those words for ever blest:

"All ye who labor, come to me,

And I will give you rest."

O heart adored by saints on high,

And hope of sinners here,

We place our ev'ry trust in you

And lift to you our prayer.
