“ O COMFORT YE MY PEOPLE ! ”

“COMFORT ye my people!” All sadness put away; The bells from many a steeple Ring in the Easter Day! Unto the grave with weeping They came, that morn of gloom, And angels watch were keeping Within the open tomb.

For when the day was breaking, And ere the shadows fled, Our King, His glory taking, Had risen from the dead. Finished redemption’s story, And from the waiting throng Of angel hosts in glory,

Rang out the glad new song.
