The Comforter has come

Author: Anon. Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 18 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The Comforter has come, We feel his presence here; Our hearts would now no longer roam, But bow in filial fear. 2 This tenderness of love, This hush of solemn power,-- 'Tis heaven descending from above, To fill this favored hour. 3 Earth's darkness all has fled, Heaven's light serenely shines, And every heart, divinely led, To holy thought inclines. 4 No more let sin deceive, Nor earthly cares betray, Oh, let us never, never grieve The Comforter away!

Anonymous

Person Name: Anon. Author of "The Comforter has come" in The Voice of Praise In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
