POETRY.
For the Southern Christian Advocate.
COME YE DISCONSOLATE
The following stanzas have been sent to us for publication by a correspondent, who says they were composed by a friend. If Brother K. will turn to the 352d hymn of the New Hymn Book he will find that the original hymn has more than two stanzas. The hymn as Thomas Moore composed it has three stanzas—it is not necessary to prefix them to the stanzas of our friend, which are as follows:
O come to the Saviour, He will receive you,
For he hath felt more than sinners can feel,
List how he intercedes, He will relieve you,
Earth has no sorrow his blood cannot heal.
Angels with sympathy, look down from heaven,
They would entreat you his love to secure
None ever sought in vain; all are forgiven,
Earth has no sorrow, that heaven cannot cure.
Come, ere the lamp of life ceases its burning,
Ere death's cold waters shall over you steal;
Come, while poor penitents gladly are turning,
Earth has no sorrow his blood cannot heal.
List to the gospel trump, yield to its warning,
Hear what poor sinners in hell must endure,
Oh, if you wait until judgment's dread morning,
Hell has a sorrow that heaven cannot cure.
