12.12.12.6 & chorus
1.
Oh,
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.
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
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!
3.
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
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!
4.
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
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!
