Full Lyrics
[RECITATIVE.—COMFORT YE MY PEOPLE]
Comfort ye, comfort ye My people,
saith your God, saith your God.
Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem,
and cry unto her, that her warfare,
her warfare is accomplish'd,
that her iniquity is pardon'd,
that her iniquity is pardon'd.
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.—EV'RY VALLEY SHALL BE EXALTED]
Ev'ry valley, ev'ry valley 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,
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,
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,
the crooked straight, the crooked straight,
and the rough places plain, and the rough places plain,
the crooked straight, and the rough places plain.
