Comfort, Comfort All My People

Author: Johann Olearius, 1611-1684; Catherine Winkworth, 1827-1878 Hymnal: Christian Worship #312 (2021) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Lyrics: 1 "Comfort, comfort all my people; speak of peace," so says our God. "Comfort those who sit in darkness, groaning from their sorrows’ load. Speak to all Jerusalem of the peace that waits for them; tell them that their sins I cover, that their warfare now is over." 2 All their sins our God will pardon, blotting out each dark misdeed; all that well deserved his anger he no more will see or heed. They have suffered many a day; now their griefs have passed away. God will change their aching sadness into ever-springing gladness. 3 John the Baptist's voice is crying in the desert far and near, calling people to repentance for 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 Then make straight the crooked highway; make the rougher places plain. Let your hearts be true and humble, ready for his holy reign. For the glory of the Lord now o'er earth is spread abroad, and all flesh shall see the token that his word is never broken.

Comfort, Comfort Ye My People

Author: Catherine Winkworth; J. Olearius Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #337 (1930) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Comfort, comfort ye My people, Speak ye peace, thus saith our God; Comfort those who sit in darkness, Wounded sore by sorrows' rod. Bid Jerusalem be glad, Her whose heart so long was sad; Tell her that the strife is ended, All My peace to her extended. 2 All her sins I now will pardon, Blotting out each dark misdeed; That which well deserved My anger I no more will see or heed. She hath suffered bitter grief; Now I send her sweet relief, Changing all her gloomy sadness Into brightest joy and gladness. 3 Hark, the herald's voice is crying In the desert far and near, Saying to us all, Repent ye, Since the kingdom now is here; O that warning cry obey, For your Lord prepare the 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 our God Now o'er earth is shed abroad, And all flesh shall see the token That His Word is never broken. Topics: The Church Year Advent Languages: English Tune Title: LUDWIGSBURG

Light of Light, O Sun of Heaven

Author: Martin Opitz (1597-1639); Samuel Magnus Hill Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #347 (1926) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Light of light, O Sun of heaven, O Thou bright and morning Star, To mankind in mercy given, Send Thy radiance from afar, Bringing light to all the earth, Health and strength, and joy and mirth; Darkness past, the dawn is breaking, All creation is awaking. 2 Still my soul is thickly shrouded In the chilling mist of sin, And my conscience is beclouded By the ignorance within. Lead me by the hand, I pray, Lest in error's path I stray; Make Thy light my sole attraction, Guiding every thought and action. 3 Spirit of the heavenly morning, Shine into my darkened heart, That, the way of life discerning, I may choose the better part. Make my erring walk secure, Every thought and action pure; Whereso'er my feet be turning, Keep Thy zeal within me burning. 4 Deign Thy feeble flock to strengthen By the bonds of sacred love, And Thy lines of empire lengthen By Thy power from above. Help us govern in Thy sight, That our laws be just and right; That we suffer no oppression, Make our land Thine own possession. 5 Let our lamp of faith be burning On that awful judgment day. While in sin's domain sojourning, Guide us in the heavenward way: Then their praise and thanks to Thee, Lord, in all eternity Shall Thy happy children render, For Thy mercies, kind and tender. Amen.
