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.
