Antioch. C. M. Christ's Mission. |
Christ's Mission. (202) 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, T' 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. Philip Doddridge, 1735.
