Lyrics
Oh, spread the tidings round, wherever man is found,
Wherever human hearts and human woes abound
Let every Christian tongue proclaim the joyful sound
The Comforter has come
The Comforter has come, the Comforter has come
The Holy Ghost from Heaven, the Father’s promise given
Oh, spread the tidings round, wherever man is found
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 o’er the golden hills the day advances fast
The Comforter has come
The Comforter has come, the Comforter has come
The Holy Ghost from Heaven, the Father’s promise given
Oh, spread the tidings round, wherever man is found
The Comforter has come
O boundless love divine, How shall this tongue of mine
To wondering mortals tell the matchless grace divine
That I, a child of hell, should in His image shine,
The Comforter has come
The Comforter has come, the Comforter has come
The Holy Ghost from Heaven, the Father’s promise given
Oh, spread the tidings round, wherever man is found
The Comforter has come
