When the Comforter Came

My heart

that was hea­vy and sad

Was made to re­joice and be glad

And peace with­out mea­sure I had

When the Com­fort­er came.

Peace

sweet peace

Peace when the Com­fort­er came!

My heart that was hea­vy and sad

Was made to re­joice and be glad

And peace with­out mea­sure I had

When the Com­fort­er came.

To sin and to ev­il in­clined

With dark­ness per­vad­ing my mind

No rest I could any­where find

Till the Com­fort­er came.

The voice of thanks­giv­ing I raised

The Lord

my Re­deem­er

I praised;

I was at His mer­cy am­azed

When the Com­fort­er came.
