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!
Refrain:
The Comforter has come! The Comforter has come!
The Holy Ghost from heav’n, the Father’s promise giv’n,
O spread the tidings ’round, wherever man is found:
The Comforter has come!
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! (Refrain)
Lo, the great King of kings, with healing in His wings,
To every captive soul a full deliv'rance brings;
And thro' the vacant cells the song of triumph rings;
The Comforter has come! (Refrain)

John 14
1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. 2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare
a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also...18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. 19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. 20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
Worship Suggestion:
The sound file is looped.
1. As the song plays the first time (During Verse 1), make remarks about the earthly mission of Jesus. Emphasize how He prepared His disciples
for His death and resurrection. And, Jesus promised to send the Holy Spirit to help the disciples continue The Great Commission. He will do the same for each of us as we go out into the world to spread the Good News.
2. As the song continues (During Verses 2-3), read the scripture from the book of John 14:1-3, and John 14:18-27. Let the song end.
3. When the song restarts, sing Verses 1-3 together.
4. Prayer and Meditation.
The Comforter has Come
