Text marked as lyrics
Comfort, comfort now my people; speak of peace: so says our God. Comfort those who sit in darkness, mourning under sorrow's load. Cry out to Jerusalem of the peace that waits for them; tell her that her sins I cover and her warfare now is over. For the herald's voice is crying in the desert far and near, calling all to true repentance, since the kingdom now is here. Oh, 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. Then make 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 on earth is shed abroad, and all flesh shall see the token that God's word is never broken.
