Oh, spread the tidings ’round, wherever man is found

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!
  The Comforter has come,
The Comforter has come!
The Holy Ghost from heav’n,
The Lord’s dear 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 o’er the golden hills the day advances fast!
    The Comforter has come!
3
Lo, the great King of kings, with healing in His wings,
To every captive soul a full deliv’rance brings;
And through the vacant cells the song of triumph rings:
    The Comforter has come!
4
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!

I have been hearing this wonderful song for weeks first at night and now day and night; it has been such a comfort I can feel the peace of God settling on me as I continue through these difficulties... Truly He is my Comforter, my Guide, and my Keeper! Lord I will trust You, I can put all my trust in You! You have no limits; I love You & love Your company!

Comfort oh comfort My people, Says your God. Speak unto the heart of Jerusalem...

What a great promise the Comforter has come, our Saviour upon leaving His disciples said, I will not leave you as orphans; I am coming to you....another Comforter, that He may be with you forever. We have the all-inclusive, life giving, compound, sevenfold Spirit as our daily portion. Wonderful!
