Lyrics

Verse 1 Hark, the glad sound! the Savior comes! the Savior promised long; Let every heart prepare a throne, and every voice a song. Verse 2 On Him the Spirit, largely poured, exerts its sacred Fire; Wisdom and might, and zeal and love, His holy Breast inspire. Verse 3 He comes the pris'ners to release, in Satan's bondage held; The gates of brass before Him burst the iron fetters yield. Verse 4 He comes from thickest films of vice to clear the mental ray, And on the eyeballs of the blind to pour celestial day. Verse 5 He comes the broken heart to bind, the bleeding soul to cure; And with the treasures of His grace to enrich the humble poor. Verse 6 His silver trumpets publish loud the jub'lee of the Lord Our debts are all remitted now our heritage restored. Verse 7 Our glad hosannas, Prince of Peace, Thy welcome shall proclaim; And Heav'n's eternal arches ring with Thy belovèd name....
