Hymns of the Lutheran Church

12 Hark the Glad Sound! The Savior Comes

1 Hark the glad sound! The Savior comes, The Savior promised long; Let ev'ry heart prepare a throne And ev'ry voice a song. 2 He comes the captives to release, In Satan's prison 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 heav'n's eternal arches ring With your beloved name.
