The Saviour promised long!
Let every heart prepare a throne,
And every 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 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. Topics: Our Lord Jesus Christ His Advent; Festivals Used With Tune: SALFORD
