O comfort my people and calm all their fear,
And tell them the time of salvation draws near,
O tell them I come to remove all their shame,
Then they will for ever give praise to my name.

Proclaim to the cities of Judah my word:
That gentle yet strong in the hand of the Lord
I rescue the captives, my people defend,
And bring them to justice and joy without end.

All mountains and hills shall become as a plain,
For vanished are mourning and hunger and pain,
And never again shall these war against you.
Behold I come quickly to make all things new.
