Comfort, Comfort Ye My People

The 227th Day (AMEN!) of 2016 was still, as Ella sang yesterday, Too Darn Hot!  But, as 8/14/16 is a Sunday, and I missed last week for a hymn because I was on vacation, I was researching hymns about Summer or Hot Days.  I found this hymn, not traditionally thought of as a summer hymn, usually sung during Advent, actually, BUT was originally written for a summer day (6/24).  AND, since comfort is something we are all looking for on a day as hot as today, I think it appropriate for today's Hymn of the Week/Song of the Day.  Also, made me think about people unluckier than we, who live on the street or in locations without the AC relief that we have.  I say extra prayers for them tonight, as I turn in, and hope they find solace and comfort.
