O spread the tidings ÔÇÖround, wherever man is found,
Wherever human hearts and human woes abound;
Let evÔÇÖry Christian tongue proclaim the joyful sound:
The Comforter has come!
Refrain
The Comforter has come, the Comforter has come!
The Holy Ghost from HeavÔÇÖn, the FatherÔÇÖs promise givÔÇÖn;
O spread the tidings ÔÇÖround, wherever man is foundÔÇö
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 oÔÇÖer the golden hills the day advances fast!
The Comforter has come!
Refrain
Lo, the great King of kings, with healing in His wings,
To evÔÇÖry captive soul a full deliverance brings;
And through the vacant cells the song of triumph rings;
The Comforter has come!
Refrain
O boundless love divine! How shall this tongue of mine
To wondÔÇÖring mortals tell the matchless grace divineÔÇö
That I, a child of hell, should in His image shine!
The Comforter has come!
Refrain
