Full Lyrics
[RECIT. (Accompanied). Comfort ye, my people]
Comfort ye, Comfort ye, my people
Comfort ye, Comfort ye, my people
Saith your God, saith your God
Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem
Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem
and cry unto her, that her warfare, her warfare is accomplished
that her iniquity is pardoned
that her iniquity is pardoned
The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness,
"Prepare ye the way of the Lord,
make straight in the desert a highway for our God."
[Air: Every Valley shall be exalted]
Ev'ry valley, Ev'ry valley shall be exalted
shall be exalted
shall be exalted
shall be exalted
and ev'ry mountain and hill made low;
the crooked straight and the rough places plain
the crooked straight, the crooked straight and rough places plain,
and the rough places plain.
Ev'ry valley, ev'ry valley shall be exalted
Ev'ry valley, ev'ry valley shall be exalted
and ev'ry mountain and hill made low,
the crooked straight
the crooked straight, the crooked straight and the rough places plain
and the rough places plain; and the rough places plain...
the crooked straight, and the rough places plain
