Songs of Sovereign Grace ‎#44

44. Comfort Others

1 If your own heart you would gladden,
If your own life you would bless,
Lift another’s heavy burden,
Solace some one in distress.

Refrain:
Comfort others, comfort others,
Lessen human grief and pain,
Thus unfailing consolation
And rich blessing you will gain.

2 If you long to have the music
In your soul of joy’s sweet song,
Turn another’s sigh to singing,
As your pass your way along. [Refrain]

3 If you fain would have the brightness
Of love’s light upon you shine,
Cheer some sad and lonely spirit
With the rays of love divine. [Refrain]

4 If you seek the sweetest rapture
Of the fair celestial home,
Bring to Christ the lost and hopeless
From the sinful ways they roam. [Refrain]
