Lyics

SALVATION! O, the joyful sound,

'Tis pleasure to our ears;

A sov'reign balm for ev'ry wound,

A cordial for our fears.



Bury'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.



O happy period! glorious day!

When heaven and earth shall raise,

With all their pow'rs, the raptur'd lay,

To celebrate thy praise.
