Gospel · Hymn 402 · 12.12.12.6
Oh, spread the tidings round,
D. “He will give you another Comforter”. Jn. 14:16
1.
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!
Refrain
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!
2.
The mighty King of kings
With healing in His wings
To every captive soul;
A full deliverance brings;
And through the vacant cells;
The song of triumph rings
The Comforter has come!
3.
Oh, boundless love divine
How shall this tongue of mine
To wandering mortals tell
The matchless grace divine
That I may with Him dwell
And in His image shine
The Comforter has come!
4.
Oh, let the echoes fly;
Above the vaulted sky;
And all the saints above
To all below reply
In strain of endless love
The song that ne’er will die
The Comforter has come!
Amen
