Comfort, Comfort Ye My People

Author: Rev. Johannes Olearius; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Appears in 126 hymnals Topics: Advent Of Christ Lyrics: 1 Comfort, comfort ye My people, Speak ye peace, thus saith our God; Comfort those who sit in darkness, Mourning 'neath their sorrow's load. Speak ye to Jerusalem Of the peace that waits for them; Tell her that her sins I cover, And her warfare now is over. 2 For the herald's voice is crying In the desert far and near, Bidding all men to repentance, Since 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. 3 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 the Lord Now o'er earth is shed abroad; And all flesh shall see the token, That His Word is never broken. Used With Tune: THIRSTING
