Oh, 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 I The Holy Ghost from heaven, the Father's promise given; Oh, 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. The mighty King of kings, with healing in His wings, To every captive soul a full deliverance brings ; And through the vacant cells the song of triumph rings : The Comforter has come !
4. Oh, boundless love divine ! how shall this tongue of mine To wondering mortals tell the match- less grace divine ----- That I may with Him dwell, and in His image shine ! ----- The Comforter has come I
5. Oh, let 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 !
