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

1
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!
2
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!
3
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!
4
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!

Like others, I recently awakened with this song on my heart. What a blessing to get the lyrics and music on hymnal. net. It has been such a blessing to me at this time in my life. I know it will continue to be a blessing to many others.

While trying to write my Sunday School Notes of Lesson on 'The Baptism of the Holy Ghost for believers with signs following' I remembered my childhood song - The Comforter has Come -only the first stanza. Searching the Internet, I am captivated by the lyrics of all stanzas

Glory be to God, Amen

I've refused to recover from the lyrics & melody of this song. It kept ministering to my spirit day - night & making me soar in the Holy Spirit. May the Comforter comfort Nigeria in Jesus name. Shalom!

This is one of the songs I learned as a child. For a very long time I have not sang it. But, in the early hours of today while praying, the song kept ringing in my mind. Thank God when I search in the Internet I found it.. Indeed the Comforter has come.
