Comfort, ye ministers of grace,
Comfort the people of your Lord:
O lift ye up the fallen race,
And cheer them by the gospel word.
Hark! in the wilderness a cry,
A voice that loudly calls, Prepare!
Prepare your hearts, for God is nigh,
And means to make his entrance there!
The Lord your God shall quickly come:
Sinners, repent, the call obey;
Open your hearts to make him room;
Ye desert souls, prepare his way.
The Lord shall clear his way through all;
Whate'er obstructs, obstructs in vain:
The vale shall rise, the mountain fall,
Crooked be straight, and rugged plain.
The glory of the Lord displayed
Shall all mankind together view;
And what his mouth in truth hath said,
His own almighty hand shall do.
