1

Hark, the glad sound! the Saviour comes,

The Saviour 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.

1

Rise, children of the kingdom,

The King is drawing nigh.

Arise, and hail with gladness

The Ruler from on high.

Go forth ye Christians go,

Your praise and homage bringing

And glad hosannas sing Him

Your hearts with love aglow.

2

Arise, ye grieving mourners,

The King is very near.

Away with fear and sorrow,

Your helper now is here.

Behold in many a place,

O blessed consolation

We find Him, our salvation,

In His pure means of grace.

3

Arise, ye much afflicted,

The King is not afar.

Rejoice, ye long dejected,

Behold the morning star.

The Lord will give you joy,

Though troubles now distress you,

With comfort He will bless you,

E’en death He will destroy.

4

Arise, ye poor and needy,

The King provides for you;

He comes with succour speedy

With mercy ever new.

Receive your gracious King,

The giver of all blessing;

Hail Him, His name confessing,

With joy His praises sing.

5

O rich the gifts Thou bringest,

Thyself made poor and weak.

O love beyond expression,

That thus can sinners seek!

For this, O Lord, will we

Our joyous tribute bring Thee,

And glad hosannas sing Thee,

And ever grateful be.

1

Come, Thou precious Ransom, come,

Only hope for sinful mortals!

Come, O Saviour of the world,

Open are to Thee all portals.

Come, Thy beauty let us see;

Anxiously we wait for Thee.

2

Enter now my waiting heart,

Glorious King and Lord most holy,

Dwell in me and ne’er depart,

Though I am but poor and lowly.

O what riches mine shall be

When Thou dwellest, Lord, in me!

3

My hosannas and my palms

Graciously receive, I pray Thee;

Evermore, as best I can,

Saviour, I will homage pay Thee;

And in faith I will embrace,

Lord, Thy merit through Thy grace.

4

Hail, hosanna, David’s Son!

Help, Lord, hear our supplication;

Let Thy kingdom, sceptre, crown,

Bring us blessing and salvation,

That for ever we may sing:

Hail, hosanna, to our King!

On this episode Jake discusses the False Gospel known as the Prosperity-Gospel

1

Ye sons of men, in earnest

Prepare your hearts within;

The wondrous Conqueror cometh,

Whose power can save from sin,

Whom God in grace alone

Hath promised long to send us,

To lighten and befriend us,

And make His mercy known.

2

O set your ways in order

When such a guest is nigh;

Make plain the paths before Him

That now deserted lie;

Forsake what He doth hate,

Exalt the lowly valleys,

Bring down all pride and malice,

And make the crooked straight.

3

The humble heart and lowly

The Lord lifts up on high;

The haughty heart in anguish

]Beneath His feet shall lie.

The heart, sincere and right,

That heeds God’s invitation

And makes true preparation

Is e’er the Lord’s delight.

4

Prepare my heart, Lord Jesus,

Turn not from me aside,

And grant that I receive Thee

This blessed Advent-tide.

From stall and manger low

Come Thou to dwell within me;

Loud praises will I sing thee

And forth Thy glory show.

On this episode Vicar Jake does a movie review on the Ultimate Trilogy: The Ultimate Gift, the Ultimate Life and the Ultimate Legacy
