Hark, the Glad Sound

Author: Philip Doddridge Hymnal: Voices United #29 (1996) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Prisoner(s) First Line: Hark, the glad sound! The Saviour comes Lyrics: 1 Hark, the glad sound! The Saviour comes, the Saviour promised long: let every heart prepare a throne; and every 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 enrich the humble poor. 4 Our glad hosannas, Prince of Peace, your welcome shall proclaim; and heaven's eternal arches ring with your beloved name.

Will You Come and See the Light

Author: Brian Wren Hymnal: Voices United #96 (1996) Meter: 12.12.14.10 Topics: Prisoner(s) First Line: Will you come and see the light from the stable door? Lyrics: 1 Will you come and see the light from the stable door? It is shining newly bright, though it shone before. It will be your guiding star, it will show you who you are. Will you hide, or decide to meet the light? 2 Will you step into the light that can free the slave? It will stand for what is right, it will heal and save. By the pyramids of greed there's a longing to be freed. Will you hide, or decide to meet the light? 3 Will you tell about the light in the prison cell? Though it's shackled out of sight, it is shining well. When the truth is cut and bruised, and the innocent abused, will you hide, or decide to meet the light? 4 Will you join the hope, alight in a young girl's eyes, of the mighty put to flight by a baby's cries? When the lowest and the least are the foremost at the feast, will you hide, or decide to meet the light? 5 Will you travel by the light of the babe new born? In the candle lit at night there's a gleam of dawn, and the darkness all about is too dim to put it out: will you hide, or decide to meet the light? Tune Title: KELVINGROVE
