The Comforter Has Come! (Canaan Melodies #30)

A powerful ballad from the old Nazarene hymnal about the Holy Spirit. Great song for Pentecost!

LYRICS:

1 O spread the tidings 'round, wherever man is found,
Wherever human hearts and human woes abound;
Let ev’ry Christian tongue proclaim the joyful sound:
The Comforter has come!

 Refrain:
The Comforter has come! The Comforter has come!
The Holy Ghost from heav’n, the Father's promise giv’n;
Oh, spread the tidings round, wherever man is found—
The Comforter has come!

 2 The long, long night is past; the morning breaks at last;
And hushed the dreadful wail and fury of the blast,
As ov’r the golden hills the day advances fast!
The Comforter has come!  

3 Lo, the great King of kings, with healing in His wings,
To ev’ry captive soul a full deliv’rance brings;
And thro’ the vacant cells the song of triumph rings;
The Comforter has come!

4 Oh, boundless love divine! How shall this tongue of mine
To wond’ring mortals tell the matchless grace divine—
That I, a child of hell, should in His image shine!
The Comforter has come!  

5 Sing, till the echoes fly above the vaulted sky,
And all the saints above to all below reply,
In strains of endless love, the song that ne’er will die:
The Comforter has come!
