F
Comfort, comfort, ye my people,
Speak ye peace, thus saith our God;
Comfort those who sit in darkness,
Mourning 'neath their sorrow's load;
Am Dm
Speak ye to Jerusalem
C Bb C
Of the peace that waits for them;
F
Tell her that her sins I cover,
Dm Gm C F
And her warfare now is o – ver.
F
Yea, her sins our God will pardon,
Blotting out each dark misdeed;
All that well deserved His anger
He will no more see nor heed.
Am Dm
She has suffered many a day,
C Bb C
Now her griefs have passed away,
F
God will change her pining sadness
Dm Gm C Dm
Into ever springing glad - ness.
Dm Bb
For the herald's voice is crying
Dm Bb F
In the desert far and near,
Dm Bb
Bidding all men to repentance,
Dm Bb F
Since the kingdom now is here.
Am Dm
O that warning cry obey!
C Bb C
Now prepare for God a way!
F
Let the valleys rise to meet Him,
Dm Gm C F
And the hills bow down to greet Him.
F
Make ye straight what long was crooked,
Make the rougher places plain:
Let your hearts be true and humble,
As befits His holy reign,
Am Dm
For the glory of the Lord
C Bb C
Now o'er the earth is shed abroad,
F
And all flesh shall see the token
Dm Gm C F
That His Word is never bro – ken.
