Comfort, comfort ye my people

Author: Johannes Olearius; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Appears in 128 hymnals Topics: Forgiveness of Sins Lyrics: 1 Comfort, comfort ye my people, Speak ye peace, thus saith our God; Comfort those who sit in darkness, Mourning 'neath their sorrow's load. Speak ye to Jerusalem Of the peace that waits for them; Tell her that her sins I cover, And her warfare now is over. 2 Yea, her sins our God will pardon, Blotting out each dark misdeed; All that well deserved his anger He no more will see or heed. She hath suffered many a day Now her griefs have passed away; God will change her pining sadness Into ever-springing gladness. 3 For the herald's voice is crying In the desert far and near, Bidding all men to repentance, Since the kingdom now is here. O that warning cry obey! Now prepare for God a way; Let the valleys rise to meet him, And the hills bow down to greet him. 4 Make ye straight what long was crooked, Make the rougher places plain; Let your hearts be true and humble, As befits his holy reign. For the glory of the Lord Now o'er earth is shed abroad; And all flesh shall see the token, That his word is never broken. Amen. Scripture: Isaiah 40:1-5 Used With Tune: THIRSTING
