THE COMFORTER.

"I, EVEN I, AM HE THAT COMFORTETH YOU." ISA. li, 12.

In God let all his saints rejoice, With thankful heart and cheerful voice; Thus saith his Word, so kind, so true, "I, even I, will comfort you."

Sweet words! O, let us bless his name, And joyful all his praise proclaim; These words shall foes and fears subdue, "I, even I, will comfort you."

Are you in darkness and distress? Does Satan roar and break your peace? Fear not, but till this truth review, "I, even I, will comfort you."

Do sore afflictions on you lay? And pungent sorrows day by day? Look to this word; t'will bear you through, "I, even I, will comfort you."

If death in gloomy form appear, And overwhelm your souls with fear, Let this sweet word your faith renew, "I, even I, will comfort you."

Thus while you sojourn here below, As pilgrims in this world of woe, Make this your song the journey through, "I, even I, will comfort you."
