Hark the glad sound! the Saviour comes
Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Hymnal: CPAM2000 #27 (2000) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Hark the glad sound! the Saviour comes,
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 belovèd name. Topics: Advent; Advent II Year A; Advent III Year B; Advent IV Year C; Proper 16 Year C; Proper 21 Year C Scripture: Ephesians 1:7 Languages: English Tune Title: BRISTOL
Hark the glad sound! the Saviour comes
Hark what a sound, and too divine for hearing
Author: Frederic W. H. Myers, 1843-1901 Hymnal: CPAM2000 #28 (2000) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Lyrics: 1 Hark what a sound, and too divine for hearing,
stirs on the earth and trembles in the air!
Is it the thunder of the Lord's appearing?
Is it the music of his people's prayer?
2 Surely he cometh, and a thousand voices
shout to the saints, and to the deaf are dumb;
surely he cometh, and the earth rejoices,
glad in his coming who hath sworn: I come!
3 This hath he done, and shall we not adore him?
This shall he do, and can we still despair?
come, let us quickly fling ourselves before him,
cast at his feet the burden of our care.
4 Yea through life, death, through sorrow and through sinning,
he shall suffice me, for he hath sufficed:
Christ is the end, for Christ was the beginning,
Christ the beginning, for the end is Christ. Topics: Advent; Advent I Year B; Advent I Year C; Proper 9 Year A; Proper 26 Year A Scripture: 1 Peter 5:7 Languages: English Tune Title: HIGHWOOD

carry on every breeze
hope of a world's new birth:

he is your brightest morn,
greet him with joyous eyes,
praise shall his path adorn:
your seers have longed to know their Lord;
to you he comes, the final word.
4 Shores of the utmost West,
lands of the setting sun,
welcome the heavenly guest
in whom the dawn has come:
he brings a never-ending light
who triumphed o'er our darkest night.

and bid the fallen sinner stand;
shine forth, and let thy light restore
earth's own true loveliness once more.
