Comfort, Comfort You My People

Author: Johannes G. Olearius; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: CH1995 #122 (1995) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Comfort, comfort you my people, tell of peace, thus says our God; comfort those who sit in darkness bowed beneath oppression's load. Speak you to Jerusalem of the peace that waits for them; tell them that their sins I cover, and their warfare now is over. 2 Hark, the herald's voice is calling in the desert far and near, bidding us to make repentance since the reign of God is here. O that warning cry obey! Now prepare for God a way; let the valleys rise in meeting and the hills bow down to greeting. 3 Make you straight what long was crooked, make the rougher places plain; let your hearts be true and humble, as befits God's holy reign. For the glory of our God now o'er earth is shed abroad; and all flesh shall see the token that God's word is never broken.

R Comfort, O comfort my people, says your God.

R A voice cries out: ‘In the wilderness prepare the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. Every valley shall be lifted up, and every mountain and hill be made low; the uneven ground shall become level, and the rough places a plain. Then the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all people shall see it together, for the mouth of the Lord has spoken.’ Get you up to a high mountain, O Zion, herald of good tidings; lift up your voice with strength, O Jerusalem, herald of good tidings, lift it up, do not fear; say to the cities of Judah, ‘Here is your God!’ R Topics: God Known in Jesus Christ Advent; Canticles; Christian Year: Advent; Jesus Christ; Jesus Christ: Advent Languages: English Tune Title: [GENEVA 42]

Let All Mortal Fesh Keep Silence
