The Saviour promised long; Let every heart prepare a throne, And every voice a song! He comes the prisoners to release In Satan's 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 T' enrich the humble poor. Our glad Hosannas, Prince of Peace, Thy welcome shall proclaim, And Heaven's eternal arches ring With Thy belovéd Name. |
