Hymnal for Church and Home ‎#81

81. Hark The Glad Sound! The Savior Comes

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.

2 He comes, the prisoners to release,
In Satan's bondage held;
The gates of brass before Him burst,
The iron fetters yield.

3 He comes, the broken heart to bind,
The bleeding soul to cure,
And with the treasures of His grace
To bless the humble poor.

4 Our glad Hosannas. Prince of Peace,
Thy welcome shall proclaim,
And heaven's eternal arches ring
With Thy beloved name.
