Comfort To My People

VERSE 1
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
And her warfare now is over

VERSE 2
Yes her sins the Lord will pardon
Blotting out each dark misdeed
All 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 changе her lingering sadness
Into еverlasting gladness

VERSE 3
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
And the hills bow down to greet him

VERSE 4
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
And all flesh shall see together
The babe the king enthroned forever
