ENGLISH LYRICS: O spread the tidings round

He will give you another Comforter. Joh.14:16

1.  O 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 heaven;
    The Father's promise given;
    Oh spread the tidings round ;
    Wherever man is found;
    The comforter has come.

2. Lo, the great Kings of kings
    With healing in His wings;
    To every captive soul;
    A full deliverance brings;
    And through the vacant cells;
    The song of triumph rings;
    The comforter has come!

3. O boundless love divine;
    How shall this tongue of mine;
    To wandering mortals tell;
    The matchless grace divine;
    That I may with Him dwell;
    And in His image shine;
    The comforter has come!

4. O let the echoes fly;
    Above the vaulted sky;
    And all the saints above;
    To all below reply;
    In strain of endless love;
    The song that ne'er will die;
    The comforter has come.

Amen.
