448b The Grieved Soul

Words: Joseph Hart, 1759

Music: Arr. Melissa A. Hendon, 1859. Alto Julia Sellers, 1902

Meter: 7s & 6s D.

Come, my soul, and let us try
For a little season,
Ev’ry burden to lay by,
Come and let us reason.
What is this that casts thee down?
Who are those that grieve thee?
Speak and let the worst be known;
Speaking may relieve thee.
