Hark the glad sound! the Saviour comes
Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-51 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 820 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 3:1-13 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 On him the Spirit largely poured
exerts its sacred fire;
Wisdom and might and zeal and love
his holy breast inspire.
3 He comes the prisoners to release
in Satan's bondage held;
the gates of brass before him burst,
the iron fetters yield.
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 His silver trumpets publish loud
the jubilee of the Lord,
our debts are all remitted now,
our heritage restored.
6 Our glad hosannas, Prince of Peace,
your welcome shall proclaim,
and heaven's exalted arches ring
with your beloved name.

lone and dreary, faint and weary
through the desert thou didst go.

Open Now Thy Gates of Beauty
Author: Benjamin Schmolck; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 151 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 3:8 Lyrics: 1 Open now thy gates of beauty;
Zion, let me enter there,
where my soul in joyful duty
waits for him who answers prayer;
O how blessed is this place,
filled with solace, light, and grace!
2 Here, my God, I come before thee,
come thou also down to me;
where we find thee and adore thee,
there a heav'n on earth must be;
to my heart O enter thou,
let it be thy temple now!
3 Here thy praise is gladly chanted;
here thy seed is duly sown;
let my soul, where it is planted,
bring forth precious sheaves alone,
so that all I hear may be
fruitful unto life in me.
4 Thou my faith increase and quicken;
let me keep thy gift divine;
howsoe'er temptations thicken,
may thy word still o'er me shine
ss my guiding star through life,
as my comfort in all strife.
5 Speak, O God, and I will hear thee;
let thy will be done indeed;
may I undisturbed draw near thee
while thou dost thy people feed;
here of live the fountain flows;
here is balm for all our woes.
