Holy Ghost Baptism · Hymn 174 · 12.12.12.6 & Ref
Oh, spread the tidings round wherever man is found
“And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper,” John 14:16
1.
Oh, spread the tidings round wherever man is found
Wherever human hearts and human woes abound
Let every Christian tongue proclaim joy abound
The Comforter has come
The Comforter has come, the Comforter has come
The Holy Ghost from heaven the Father’s promised given
Oh, spread the tidings round, wherever man is found
The Comforter has come.
2.
Lo, the Great King of kings, with healing in His wings
To ev;ry captive soul a full deliverance brings
And thro’ the vacant cells the song of triumph rings
The Comforter has come
3.
O 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.
4.
Sing, till 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.
Amen
