Salvation!—O, the joyful sound!
1
Salvation!—O, the joyful sound!'Tis pleasure to our ears;A sovereign balm for every wound,A cordial for our fears.
2
Buried in sorrow and in sin,At hell's dark door we lay;But we arise by grace divine,To see a heavenly day.
3
Salvation!—let the echo flyThe spacious earth around;While all the armies of the skyConspire to raise the sound.
