Comfort, comfort now my people
Author: Catherine Winkworth (1827-1878); Johannes Olearius (1611-1684); John L. Bell (b. 1949) Hymnal: Church Hymnary (4th ed.) #274 (2005) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Comfort, comfort now my people;
speak of peace - so says your God.
Comfort those who sit in darkness,
burdened by a heavy load.
To Jerusalem proclaim:
God shall take away your shame.
Now get ready to recover;
guilt and suffering are over.
2 Hear the herald's proclamation
in the desert far and near,
calling all to true repentance,
telling that the Lord is near.
Oh, that warning cry obey!
For your God prepare a way.
Let the valleys rise to greet him
and the hills bow down to meet him.
3 Straighten out what has been crooked,
make the roughest places plain.
Let your hearts be true and humble,
live as fits God's holy reign.
Soon the glory of the Lord
shall on earth be shed abroad.
Human flesh shall surely see it,
God is ready to decree it. Topics: Christ Incarnate Promise of the Messiah; Penitence Scripture: Isaiah 40:1-5 Languages: English Tune Title: GENEVAN 42

And her warfare now is over.

He will not more see or heed.

Now her griefs have passed away,
God will change her pining sadness
Unto ever springing gladness.
