Lyics

Salvation! O the joyful sound!

'Tis pleasure to our ears.

A sov'reign balm for ev'ry wound,

A cordial for our fears.



Buri'd in sorrow and in sin,

At hell's dark door we lay;

But we arise by grace divine,

To see a heav'nly day.



Salvation! let the echo fly

The spacious earth around;

While all the armies of the sky,

Conspire to raise the sound.
