HARK! THE GLAD SOUND
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 from
darkening scales of vice
To clear the inward
sight,
And on the eyeballs
of the blind
To pour celestial
light.
4. He comes the
broken heart to bind,
The bleeding soul
to cure,
And with the
treasures of His grace
To enrich the
humble poor.
5. Our glad
Hosannas, Prince of Peace!
Thy welcome shall
proclaim;
And heaven's
exalted arches ring
With Thy most honored Name.
