Comfort, comfort ye my people

Author: Johann Olearius; Catherine Winkworth Appears in 128 hymnals Topics: The Church Year John the Baptist 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; That which well deserved His anger He will not more see or heed. She hath suffer'd many a day, Now her griefs have passed away, God will change her pining sadness Into ever springing gladness. 3 For Elijah'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.
