Hark! The Glad Sound! The Savior Comes
}
Hark! The glad sound! the Savior comes,
The Savior promised long:
Let every heart prepare a throne,
And every voice a song.

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

He comes, the broken heart to bind,
The bleeding soul to cure:
And with the treasures of his grace
To enrich the humble poor.

Our glad hosannas, Prince of Peace,
Thy welcome shall proclaim;
And heaven's eternal arches ring
With Thy beloved Name.
Amen.
