Hark the glad sound

           1
Hark, the glad sound-the Saviour
comes!
The Saviour promised long;
Let every heart exult with joy,
And every voice be 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 hearts to bind'
The bleeding souls 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 exalted arches ring
With Thy most honoured name.
