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!
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!
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!
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!
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!
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!
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!
