The Comforter Has Come
The Harvesters
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!
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!
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!
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!
THE COMFORTER HAS COME!
