Let every heart prepare a throne, 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. 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 T'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.

Faith shall cry, as fails each sense. "Lord, Thou art my Confidence!" Amen. Used With Tune: JESUS MEINE ZUVERSICHT

What happy hearts and happy homes to whom this king in triumph comes! The cloudless sun of joy he is, Who brings us pure delight and bliss.
