| Hymn: | Hark, The Glad Sound! The Saviour Comes |
|---|---|
| Tune: | Bristol |
| Words: | Philip Doddridge (1702-51) |
Verse 1
Hark, the glad sound! The Savior comes,
the Savior promised long!
Let ev'ry heart prepare a throne,
and ev'ry voice a song.
Verse 2
He comes the pris'ners to release,
in Satan’s bondage held;
the gates of brass before Him burst,
the iron fetters yield.
Verse 3
He comes the broken heart to bind,
the bleeding soul to cure,
and with the treasures of His grace
t'enrich the humbled poor.
Verse 4
Our glad Hosannas, Prince of Peace,
Thy welcome shall proclaim;
and heav'n’s eternal arches ring
with Thy beloved Name.
