Hark, the glad sound! the Savior comes

Author: Doddridge Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 820 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 9:6-7 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 He comes the prisoner to release, In Satan's bondage held; The gates of brass before him burst, The iron fetters yield. 3 He comes, from thickest films of vice, To clear the mental ray, And on the eyes long closed in night To pour celestial day. 4 He comes, the broken heart to bind, The bleeding soul to cure, And, with the treasures of his grace, Enrich the humble poor. 5 Our glad hosannas, Prince of Peace, Thy welcome shall proclaim, And heaven's eternal arches ring With thy beloved name.

Jehovah, Great I AM! by earth and heaven confessed, I bow, and bless the sacred name for ever blest. 2 The God of Abraham praise, at whose supreme command from earth I rise, and seek the joys at his right hand. I all on earth forsake, its wisdom, fame and power, and him my only portion make, my shield and tower. 3 He by himself has sworn, I on his oath depend: I shall, on eagle's wings upborne, to heaven ascend; I shall behold his face, I shall his power adore and sing the wonders of his grace for evermore. 4 There dwells the Lord our King, the Lord our Righteousness, triumphant o'er the world and sin, the Prince of Peace; on Zion's sacred height his kingdom he maintains, and glorious with his saints in light for ever reigns. 5 The whole triumphant host give thanks to God on high; 'Hail, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!' they ever cry. Hail, Abraham's God, and mine!– I join the heavenly praise– all might and majesty are thine, through endless days.

Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 197 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 9:6 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Lord, we look to thee; Let us in thy name agree; Show thyself the Prince of Peace; Bid our jars forever cease. 2 By thy reconciling love, Every stumbling-block remove: Each to each unite, endear; Come, and spread thy banner here. 3 Make us of one heart and mind-- Courteous, pitiful, and kind; Lowly, meek, in thought and word-- Altogether like our Lord. 4 Let us for each other care; Each the other's burden bear; To thy church the pattern give; Show how true believers live. 5 Free from anger and from pride, Let us thus in God abide; All the depths of love express-- All the heights of holiness. 6 Let us then with joy remove To the family above; On the wings of angels fly: Show how true believers die.
