Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Hymnal: Hymnal and Order of Service #6a (1901) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Hark, the glad sound, the Saviour comes,
The Saviour promised long!
Let every heart prepare a throne
And every voice a song,
And every voice a song.
2 On Him the Spirit, largely poured,
Exerts His sacred fire;
Wisdom, and might, and zeal, and love
His holy breast inspire,
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,
The iron fetters yield.
4 He comes from thickest films of vice
To clear the mental ray,
And on the eye-balls of the blind
To pour celestial day,
To pour celestial day.
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,
To enrich the humble poor.
6 Our glad hosannas, Prince of Peace!
Thy welcome shall proclaim;
And heaven's eternal arches ring
With Thy beloved Name,
With Thy beloved Name. Topics: Advent Languages: English Tune Title: LOBT GOTT, IHR CHRISTEN
