“Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal/cure/remove,” from the closing lyrics to the three verses of the hymn “Come, Ye Disconsolate.” The hymn is attributed to a Bible passage from Hebrews 4:16 — “Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.”
