Comfort to My People

Comfort comfort to my people Tell them peace comes from their God Comfort those who sit in darkness Mourning under sorrow's load Speak now to Jerusalem Of the peace that waits for them Tell her that her sins I cover cnd her warfare now is over Yes her sins the Lord will pardon Blotting out each dark misdeed cll that well deserved his anger He no more will see or heed She has suffered many a day Now her grief has passed away God will change her lingering sadness Into everlasting gladness For the herald's voice is calling In the desert far and near Telling them to come repenting Since the kingdom now is here Now the warning cry obey Come prepare your heart today Let the valleys rise to meet him cnd the hills bow down to greet him Come make straight what long was crooked Make the rougher places plain Let your hearts be true and humble Bowing to his holy reign For the glory of the Lord Now o'er earth is shed abroad cnd all flesh shall see together The babe the king enthroned forever Comfort comfort to my people Tell them peace comes from their God
