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

lyricist: Frank Bottome
Composer: William James Kirkpatrick

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!

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!

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!

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!
