THE COMFORTER HAS COME
1. O spread the tidings round,
wherever man is found,
Wherever human hearts and human
woes abound;
Let every Christian tongue proclaim
the joyful sound:
The Comforter has come!
Chorus:
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!
