Comfort those who sit in darkness mourning under sorrow's load. To God's people now proclaim that God's pardon waits for them! Tell them that their war is over; God will reign in peace forever! 2 For the herald's voice is crying in the desert far and near, calling us 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! 3 Straight shall be what long was crooked, and 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.

At his feet myself I'll throw; In his house there yet may be Place—a servant's place—for me. 3 See! my Father waiting stands; See! he reaches out his hands: God is love; I know, I see, Love for me—yes, even me.

I have the fountain still. 5 Stripped of each earthly friend, I find them all in One, And peace and joy which never end, And heaven, in Christ, alone.
