Hark, the glad sound! the Saviour comes!
The Saviour promised long;
Let ev'ry heart exult with joy,
And ev'ry voice be song!
On him the Spirit, largely shed,
Exerts its sacred fire;
Wisdom and might, and zeal and love,
His holy breast inspire.
He comes! the pris'ners to relieve,
In Satan's bondage held;
The gates of brass before him burst,
The iron fetters yield.
He comes! the broken hearts to bind,
The bleeding souls to cure;
And with the treasures of his grace
Enrich the humble poor.
Our glad hosannahs, Prince of Peace!
Thy welcome shall proclaim;
And heav'n's exalted arches ring
With thy most honored name.
