Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 838 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Hark, the glad sound, the Saviour comes! The Saviour promised long; let ev’ry heart exult with joy, and ev’ry voice be song! 2 On him the Spirit, largely shed, exerts its sacred fire; wisdom and might, and zeal and love, his holy breast inspire. 3 He comes! the pris’ners to relieve, in Satan’s bondage held; the gates of brass before him burst, the iron fetters yield. 4 He comes! from dark’ning scales of vice to clear the inward sight; and on the eye-balls of the blind to pour celestial light. 5 He comes! the broken hearts to bind, the bleeding souls to cure; and with the treasures of his grace t’ enrich the humble poor. 6 The sacred year has now revolv'd, accepted of the Lord, when Heav’n’s high promise is fulfill'd, and Isr’el is restor'd. 7 Our glad hosannahs, Prince of Peace! thy welcome shall proclaim; and heaven’s exalted arches ring with thy most honour'd name.
