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! 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! [Refrain] 3 Lo, the great King of kings, with healing in His wings, To every captive soul a full deliv'rance brings; And thro' the vacant cells the song of triumph rings; The Comforter has come! [Refrain] 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! [Refrain]
