Hark! the glad sound! the Savior comes
Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 822 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Hark, the glad sound! the Savior comes,
the Savior promised long:
let every heart prepare a throne,
and every voice a song.
2 He comes, the prisoners to release
in Satan's bondage held;
the gates of brass before him burst,
the iron fetters yield.
3 He comes, the broken heart to bind,
the bleeding soul to cure;
and with the treasures of his grace
to enrich the humble poor.
4 Our glad hosannas, Prince of Peace,
thy welcome shall proclaim;
and heaven's eternal arches ring
with thy beloved Name.

How Long Wilt Thou Conceal Thy Face?
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 64 hymnals Lyrics: 1. How long wilt Thou conceal Thy face?
My God, how long delay?
When shall I feel those heav’nly rays
That chase my fears away?
2. How long shall my poor laboring soul
Wrestle and toil in vain?
Thy word can all my foes control
And ease my raging pain.
3. See how the prince of darkness tries
All his malicious arts;
He spreads a mist around my eyes,
And throws his fiery darts.
4. Be Thou my sun, and Thou my shield,
My soul in safety keep;
Make haste, before mine eyes are sealed
In death’s eternal sleep.
5. How would the tempter boast aloud
If I become his prey!
Behold, the sons of hell grow proud
At Thy so long delay.
6. But they shall fly at Thy rebuke,
And Satan hide his head;
He knows the terrors of Thy look,
And hears Thy voice with dread.
7. Thou wilt display Thy sovereign grace,
Where all my hopes have hung,
I shall employ my lips in praise
And victory shall be sung. Used With Tune: BRISTOL (Ravenscroft) Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719

With grateful hearts we sing,
And join our voices to proclaim
Our Savior and our king.

For such unfathomed love;

And shout, ye hosts above. Used With Tune: BRISTOL (Ravenscroft)

O Zion, open wide thy gates
Author: Jean-Baptiste de Santeüil, 1630-1697; Edward Caswall, 1814-1878 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 22 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Zion, open wide thy gates,
let symbols disappear;
a priest and victim, both in one,
the Truth himself, is here.
2 Aware of hidden deity,
the lowly Virgin brings
her newborn babe, with two young doves,
her humble offerings.
3 The agèd Simeon sees at last
his Lord, so long desired,
and Anna welcomes Israel's hope,
with holy rapture fired.
4 But silent knelt the mother blest
of the yet silent Word,
and pondering all things in her heart,
with speechless praise adored.
5 All glory to the Father be,
all glory to the Son,
all glory, Holy Ghost, to thee,
while endless ages run. Topics: Saints' and Other Holy Days The Presentation Used With Tune: BRISTOL

City of God, how broad and far
While others crowd the house of mirth
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 While others crowd the house of mirth,
and haunt the gaudy show,
let such as would with Wisdom dwell,
frequent the house of woe.
2 Better to weep with those who weep,
and share th’ afflicted’s smart,
than mix with fools in giddy joys
that cheat and wound the heart.
3 When virtuous sorrow clouds the face,
and tears bedim the eye,
the soul is led to solemn thought,
and wafted to the Sky.
4 The wise in heart revisit oft
grief’s dark sequester'd cell;
the thoughtless still with levity
and mirth delight to dwell.
5 The noisy laughter of the fool
is like the crackling sound
of blazing thorns, which quickly fall
in ashes to The ground.
Scripture: Ecclesiastes 6:2-6 Used With Tune: BRISTOL

The wicked man's transgression speaks
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The wicked man’s transgression speaks
within my heart and says,
Undoubtedly the fear of God
is not before his eyes.
2 Because himself he flattereth
in his own blinded eyes
the hatefulness shall not be found
of his iniquities.
3 Words from his mouth proceeding are,
fraud and iniquity:
he to be wise, and to do good,
hath left off utterly.
4 He mischief, lying on his bed,
most cunningly doth plot:
he sets himself in ways not good,
ill he abhorreth not. Scripture: Psalm 36:1-4 Used With Tune: BRISTOL
The wicked man's transgression speaks
