  • O gather up the brokenness
    Bring it to me now
    The fragrance of those promises
    You never dared to vow

    The splinters that you carry
    The cross you left behind
    Come healing of the body
    Come healing of the mind

    And let the heavens hear it
    The penitential hymn
    Come healing of the spirit
    Come healing of the limb

    Behold the gates of mercy
    In arbitrary space
    And none of us deserving
    The cruelty or the grace

    O solitude of longing
    Where love has been confined
    Come healing of the body
    Come healing of the mind

    O see the darkness yielding
    That tore the light apart
    Come healing of the reason
    Come healing of the heart

    O troubled dust concealing
    An undivided love
    The heart beneath is teaching
    To the broken heart above

    Let the heavens falter
    Let the earth proclaim
    Come healing of the altar
    Come healing of the name

    O longing of the branches
    To lift the little bud
    O longing of the arteries
    To purify the blood

    And let the heavens hear it
    The penitential hymn
    Come healing of the spirit
    Come healing of the limb

    O let the heavens hear it
    The penitential hymn (penitential hymn)
    Come healing of the spirit
    Come healing of the limb Writer/s: Leonard Cohen, Patrick Leonard
