Verse 1
O spread the tidings 'round, wherever man is found, Wherever
ever human hearts and human woes abound; Let ev'ry Christian
tongue proclaim the joyful sound: The Comforter has come!
Verse 2
The long, long night is past, the morning breaks at last, And
hush'd the dreadful wail and fury of the blast, As o'er the golden
hills the day advances fast! The Comforter has come!
Verse 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!
Verse 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!
Verse 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!
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!
