Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Hymnal: Complete Anglican Hymns Old and New #265 (2000) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: Complete Anglican Hymns Old and New First Line: Hark, the glad sound! the Saviour comes Lyrics: 1 Hark the glad sound! the Saviour comes,
the Saviour promised long:
let ev'ry heart prepare a throne,
and ev'ry 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 bless the humble poor.
4 Our glad hosannas, Prince of Peace,
thy welcome shall proclaim;
and heav'n's eternal arches ring
with thy belovèd name. Topics: Advent; Year B Advent 3 Scripture: Luke 4:18-19 Languages: English Tune Title: BRISTOL
