African Prayer / Come, You Forsaken Ones

(God's work will never be destroyed)
Come, you forsaken ones, wherever you languish
Here find a tranquil home, here find the truth
Here mend your wounded hearts, here tell your anguish
Earth has no sorrow that Love cannot soothe
Hope to the desolate, strength to the defeated
Light to the wanderer, dazzling and pure
Comforting promises tenderly repeated
Earth has no sorrow that Love cannot cure
Here find a shore of peace, clear flowing waters
Always a welcoming, always a place
Come to the feast of feasts, come, sons and daughters
Earth has no sorrow that love cannot erase
