Lyics

SALVATION! O the joyful sound!

'Tis pleasure to our ears;

A sov'reign balm for every wound,

A cordial for our fears.



Buried 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.
