Comfort, Comfort Now My People Lyrics

Comfort, comfort now my people

Tell of peace!" So says our God

Comfort those who sit in darkness

Mourning under sorrow's load

To God's people now proclaim

That God's pardon waits for them

Tell them that their war is over

God will reign in peace forever

For the herald's voice is crying

In the desert far and near

Calling us to true repentance

Since the reign of God is here

Oh, that warning cry obey

Now prepare for God a way

Valleys, rise to greet the Savior

Hills, bow down in humble favor

Straight shall be what long was crooked

And the rougher places plain

Let your hearts be true and humble

As befits God's holy reign

For the glory of the Lord

Now on earth is shed abroad

And all flesh shall see the token

That God's word is never broken
