Lyics

Salvation!  O the joyful sound!

'Tis pleasure to our ears,

A sovereign 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 heavenly day.



Salvation!  Let the echo fly

The spacious earth around;

While all the armies of the sky

Conspire to raise the sound.
