Wednesday Words - Comfort and Joy

To all who walk in darkness
We bring a song of light.
The mouth of God has spoken–
There's hope beyond this night.
Good News we bring, Our Gracious King
Has come to set things right.
Bringing tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy–
Bringing tidings of comfort and joy!

From God our Heavenly Father
A blessed Angel came;
And unto certain Shepherds
Brought tidings of the same:
How that in Bethlehem was born
The Son of God by Name.
Bringing tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy–
Bringing tidings of comfort and joy!

In weariness, unwelcomed,
Our Savior, Christ, was born,
And laid within a manger
That blessed Christmas morn.
The Word made flesh had come to bless
A world of sin and scorn–
Bringing tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy–
Bringing tidings of comfort and joy!

Take heart in times of trouble,
Let nothing you dismay.
Remember, Christ, our Savior,
Has won the final day.
We fly on wings like eagles,
We run and will not faint.
Bringing tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy–
Bringing tidings of comfort and joy!
