Alternate Tunes
|
| 1. Hark the glad sound!
The Saviour comes,
The Saviour promised long;
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 from
thickest films of vice
To clear the mental ray,
And on the eyes
oppressed with night
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.
6. On Him the Spirit,
largely poured,
Exerts His sacred fire;
Wisdom and might,
and zeal and love,
His holy breast inspire.
7. His silver trumpets publish loud
The jub’lee of the Lord
Our debts are all remitted now
Our heritage restored.
8. Our glad hosannas,
Prince of Peace,
Thy welcome shall proclaim;
And heaven’s eternal arches ring
With Thy belovèd name.
9. **alt verses
10. The sacred year has now revolved,
accepted of the Lord,
When Heav’n’s high promise is fulfilled,
and Isr’el is restored.
11. He comes the broken
heart to bind,
The bleeding soul to cure,
And with the treasures
of His grace
To bless the humble poor.
12. Our glad hosannahs, Prince of Peace!
thy welcome shall proclaim;
And heav’n’s exalted arches ring
with thy most honoured name.
