Hark the Glad Sound

Hark, the glad sound! the Savior comes! The Savior promised long;
Let every heart prepare a throne, And every voice a song.
His silver trumpets publish loud Our glad hosannas, Prince of Peace,
Lk Is Rev Ps Acts Lv Mk

Words: Philip Doddridge,
On Him the Spirit, large ly poured, Ex erts its sacred Fire;
Wisdom and might, and zeal and love, His holy Breast in spire.
The jub’lee of the Lord Thy welcome shall proclaim;

Music: ’Chesterfield’ or ’Richmond (Haweis)’ or ’Spa Fields Chapel’ Thomas Haweis,
He comes the pris ’ners to release, In Satan’s bondage held;
The gates of brass before Him burst, Their on fetters yield.
Our debts are all remitted now And Heav’n’s eternal arches ring

Setting: "The Church Hymnal, Revised and Enlarged"(Episcopal),
He comes from thickest films of vice To clear the mental ray,
And on the eye balls of the blind To pour celestial day.
Our heritagerestored. With Thy belovèd name.

He comes the broken heart to bind, The bleeding soul to cure;
And with the treasures of His grace T’en rich the humble poor.
