1.Hark, the glad sound! the Savior comes!
The Savior promised long;
Let every heart prepare a throne,
And every voice a song.

2.On Him the Spirit, largely poured,
Exerts its sacred Fire;
Wisdom and might, and zeal and love,
His holy Breast inspire.

3.He comes the pris'ners 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 eyeballs of the blind
To pour celestial day.

5.He comes the broken heart to bind,
The bleeding soul to cure;
And with the treasures of His grace
T'enrich the humble poor.
