Comfort, Comfort O My People
Author: Catherine Winkworth; Johannes Olearius Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Appears in 126 hymnals Lyrics: 1 "Comfort, comfort O my people,
tell of peace," thus says our God;
Comfort those whose hearts are shrouded,
mourning under sorrow’s load.
Speak unto Jerusalem
of the peace that waits for them;
Tell them that their sins I cover,
and their warfare now is over.
2 For the herald’s voice is calling
in the desert far and near,
Bidding us to make repentance
since the realm of God is here.
Oh, that warning cry obey!
Now prepare for God a way;
Let the valleys rise in meeting
and the hills bow down in greeting.
3 Straight shall be what long was crooked,
and the rougher places plain!
Let your hearts be true and humble,
for Messiah's holy reign.
For God's glory evermore
shall be known o'er all the world;
And all flesh shall see the token
that God's word is never broken. Topics: Advent; Comfort and Assurance; God Realm of; Jesus Christ Advent; Prophets; Year B Advent 2 Scripture: Isaiah 40:1-8 Used With Tune: PSALM 42 (FREU DICH SEHR)
