Comfort, Comfort Ye My People
Author: Johann Olearius; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: Hymns to the Living God #94 (2017) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Comfort, comfort ye My people,
speak ye peace, thus saith our God;
comfort those who sit in darkness
mourning 'neath their sorrow's load.
Speak ye to Jerusalem
of the peace that waits for them!
Tell her that her sins I cover,
and her warfare now is over.
2 Yea, her sins our God will pardon,
blotting out each dark misdeed;
all that well deserved His anger
He no more will see nor heed.
She hath suffered many a day,
now her griefs have passed away;
God will change her pining sadness
into ever springing gladness.
3 For Elijah's voice is crying
in the desert far and near,
bidding all men to repentance,
since the kingdom now is here.
O that warning cry obey,
now prepare for God a way;
let the valleys rise to meet Him,
and the hills bow down to greet Him.
4 Make ye straight what long was crooked,
make the rougher places plain,
let your hearts be true and humble,
as befits His holy reign;
for the glory of the LORD
now o'er earth is shed abroad,
and all flesh shall see the token
that His Word is never broken. Topics: Jesus Christ Advent Languages: English Tune Title: GENEVAN 42

The Coming of God
Author: Johannes G. Olearius Hymnal: Chalice Hymnal #123 (1995) First Line: Comfort, comfort you my people Lyrics: RESPONSE
Comfort, comfort you my people,
tell of peace, thus says our God.
R
Comfort, O comfort my people,
says your God.
Speak tenderly to Jerusalem
and cry to them
that they have served their term,
that their penalty is paid,
that they have received from the Lord’s hand
double for all their sins. R
A voice cries out:
‘In the wilderness prepare the way of the Lord,
make straight in the desert a highway for our God.
Every valley shall be lifted up,
and every mountain and hill be made low;
the uneven ground shall become level,
and the rough places a plain.
Then the glory of the Lord shall be revealed,
and all people shall see it together,
for the mouth of the Lord has spoken.’
Get you up to a high mountain,
O Zion, herald of good tidings;
lift up your voice with strength,
O Jerusalem, herald of good tidings,
lift it up, do not fear;
say to the cities of Judah,
‘Here is your God!’ R Topics: God Known in Jesus Christ Advent; Canticles; Christian Year: Advent; Jesus Christ; Jesus Christ: Advent Languages: English Tune Title: [GENEVA 42]

Pierce the clouds of sinful night;
Come, thou source of sweetest gladness,
Breathe thy life, and spread they light.
Loving Spirit, God of peace,
Great distributor of grace,
Rest upon this congregation;
Hear, O hear our supplication.

As a gracious show'r descend;
Bringing down the richest treasure
Man can wish, or God can send.
O thou Glory, shining down
From the Father and the Son,
Grant us thine illumination;
Rest upon this congregation.
3 Come, thou best of all donations
God can give, or we implore;
Having thy sweet consolations
We need wish for nothing more.
Come with unction and with pow'r,
On our souls thy graces show'r;
Author of the new creation,
Make our hearts thy habitation.
