Text: | Hark, the glad sound; the Saviour comes |
Author: | Philip Doddridge |
Tune: | ST. SAVIOUR |
Composer: | Frederick G. Baker |
1 Hark, the glad sound; the Saviour comes,
The Saviour promised long!
Let every heart prepare a throne,
And every voice a song.
2 On Him the Spirit, largely poured,
Exerts His sacred fire;
Wisdom and might, and zeal and love,
His holy breast inspire.
3 He comes the prisoners to release,
In Satan's bondage held;
The gates of brass before Him burst,
The iron fetters yield.
4 He comes, the broken heart to bind,
The bleeding soul to cure,
And with the treasures of His grace
T'enrich the humble poor.
5 Our glad hosannas, Prince of peace,
Thy welcome shall proclaim,
And heaven's eternal arches ring
With Thy beloved name.
Amen.
