 He comes, from thickest films of vice

To clear the mental ray,

And on the eye long closed in night

To pour celestial day.

He comes, the broken heart to bind,

The bleeding soul to cure;

And, with the riches of His grace,

To bless the humble poor.

Our glad hosannas, Prince of Peace,

Thy welcome shall proclaim;

And Heaven's eternal arches ring

With Thy beloved Name.

Hark! the song of Jubilee,

Loud as mighty thunders roar,

Or the fulness of the sea,

When it breakes upon the shore;

Halelujah! for the Lord

God Omnipotent shall reign;

Halelujah! Let the word

Echo round the earth and main.

Halelujah! Hark! the sound

From the centre to the skies,

Wakes above, beneath, around,

All creation's harmonies;

See Jehovah's banners furld,

Sheathed His sword, He speaks,'tis done,

And the kingdoms of this world

Are the kingdoms of His Son.
