hark the glad sound the saviour comes the saviour promised long let every heart prepare a throne and every voice a song  he comes the prisoners to release in satans bondage held the gates of brass before him burst the iron fetters yield  he comes the broken heart to bind the bleeding soul to cure and with the treasures of his grace to enrich the humble poor  our glad hosannas prince of peace thy welcome shall proclaim and heavens eternal arches ring with thy beloved name
