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!
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!
[Refrain]
Lo, the great King of kings, with healing in His wings
To ev’ry captive soul a full deliverance brings
And through the vacant cells the song of triumph rings
The Comforter has come!
[Refrain]
O boundless love divine! How shall this tongue of mine
To wond’ring mortals tell the matchless grace divine
The Comforter has come!
[Refrain]
