COMFORT

Well, haven't you heard

That the KING of Kings Is coming

He tends His flock close—  

lambs cradled in His strong arms,  

gently leading ewes.

Christ is seated, in glory seated with power

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

Christ is seated, in glory seated with power

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

Comfort, O comfort—speak to Zion’s heart,  

Her warfare ended, sins removed by grace.  

A voice cries out: “Prepare the Lord His part,  

Make straight a path through desert’s barren face.”  

Well, haven't you heard

That the KING of Kings Is coming

He tends His flock close—  

lambs cradled in His strong arms,  

gently leading ewes.

Christ is seated, in glory seated with power

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

Christ is seated, in glory seated with power

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

Each valley raised, each mountain humbled low,  

The crooked made a plain, the rough made smooth.  

God’s glory shall be seen, all flesh shall know—  

His word stands firm, eternal, sure, and truth.

Well, haven't you heard

That the KING of Kings Is coming

He tends His flock close—  

lambs cradled in His strong arms,  

gently leading ewes.

Christ is seated, in glory seated with power

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

Christ is seated, in glory seated with power

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

Lift up your voice, O herald of good news!  

Fear not, proclaim to cities of the King:  

“Behold your God!”—whose strength no man subdues,  

Who holds the stars and knows each feathered wing.  

Well, haven't you heard

That the KING of Kings Is coming

He tends His flock close—  

lambs cradled in His strong arms,  

gently leading ewes.

Christ is seated, in glory seated with power

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

Christ is seated, in glory seated with power

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

He gives the weary power to arise,  

And lifts the faint on eagle-soaring skies.

Well, haven't you heard

That the KING of Kings Is coming

He tends His flock close—  

lambs cradled in His strong arms,  

gently leading ewes.

Christ is seated, in glory seated with power

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

Christ is seated, in glory seated with power

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
