Author: Philip Doddridge Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #19 (1926) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Hark, the glad sound, the Saviour comes,
The Saviour promised long!
Let ev'ry heart prepare a throne,
And ev'ry voice a song.
2 He comes, the pris'ners 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,
Enrich the humble poor.
4 Our glad hosannas, Prince of Peace,
Thy welcome shall proclaim;
And heaven's eternal arches ring
With Thy beloved Name!
Amen.
