THE COMFORTER HAS COME
1. O spread the
tidings 'round, wherever man is found,
Wherever human
hearts and human woes abound;
Let ev'ry Christian
tongue proclaim the joyful sound:
The Comforter has
come!
Refrain
The Comforter has
come,
The Comforter has
come!
The Holy Ghost from
Heav'n,
The Father's
promise giv'n;
O spread the
tidings 'round, wherever man is found -
The Comforter has
come!
2. The long, long
night is past, the morning breaks at last,
And hushed the
dreadful wail and fury of the blast,
As o'er the golden
hills the day advances fast!
The Comforter has
come!
3. Lo, the great
King of kings, with healing in His wings,
To ev'ry captive
soul a full deliv'rance brings;
And thro' the
vacant cells the song of triumph rings:
The Comforter has
come!
4. O boundless love
divine! how shall this tongue of mine
To wond'ring
mortals tell the matchless grace divine -
That I, a child of
hell, should in His image shine!
The Comforter has
come!
5. Sing till the
echoes fly above the vaulted sky,
And all the saints
above to all below reply,
In strains of
endless love, the song that ne'er will die:
The Comforter has
come!
