71 Advent
1. Hark! The glad sound! The Savior comes, the Savior 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, thy welcome shall proclaim;
and heaven’s eternal arches ring with thy beloved Name.
