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!

The Conforter has come, the Comforter has come!
The Holy Ghost from Heav´n, the Father´s promise giv´n;
O 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 Conforter has come, the Comforter has come!
The Holy Ghost from Heav´n, the Father´s promise giv´n;
O spread the tidings ´round, wherever man is found´
The Comforter has come!

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

The Conforter has come, the Comforter has come!
The Holy Ghost from Heav´n, the Father´s promise giv´n;
O spread the tidings ´round, wherever man is found´
The Comforter has come!

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!

The Conforter has come, the Comforter has come!
The Holy Ghost from Heav´n, the Father´s promise giv´n;
O spread the tidings ´round, wherever man is found´
The Comforter has come!
