Philip Doddridge (1702-1701).
Hark, the glad sound! the Saviour comes,
The Saviour promised long:
Let every heart prepare a throne,
And every voice a song.
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.
In Satan's bondage held;
The gates of brass before him burst,
The iron fetters yield.
He comes, from the thick films of vice
To clear the mental ray,
And on the eye-balls of the blind
To pour celestial day.
To clear the mental ray,
And on the eye-balls of the blind
To pour celestial day.
