The Psalmistry

Original Music for the 150 Psalms


COMFORT, COMFORT, COMFORT MY PEOPLE (ISAIAH 40: 1-10) (CCLI 4430159)

Comfort, comfort, comfort
my people.
Speak tenderly, tenderly, tenderly:
"Your burden's done". (Alts: "The battle's done/The war is done.")
Comfort, comfort, comfort
my people.
Speak tenderly, tenderly, tenderly:
"Your burden's done." (Alts: "The battle's won/The war is won."

1. A voice calls out from the desert:
"Prepare the way of the Lord.
Make straight in the wilderness
a highway for God!"

2. The voice says "Cry to the people."
I ask: "Lord, what shall I cry?"
"That men are like withering grass,
but My Word abides."

3. So bring good tidings to Zion,
and have no fear with the Lord!
Behold God is with us, and
God brings His reward!
