Weary 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. 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 design'd; God's original promise this, God's great gift to all mankind: Blest in Christ this moment be, Blest to all eternity. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...PER PACEM AD LUCEM by ADELAIDE ANNE PROCTER TOWARDS DEMOCRACY: PART 2.
