Lyrics: 1 O spread the tidings ’round wherever man is found,
Wherever human hearts and human woes abound;
Let ev'ry 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 Lo, the great King of kings, with healing in His wings,
To ev'ry captive soul a full deliv'rance brings;
And thru the vacant cells the song of triumph rings:
The Comforter has come! [Refrain]
3 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] Topics: Comfort and Encouragement; Holy Spirit Tune Title: COMFORTER
The Comforter Has Come
