Lyics

Salvation! O! the joyful sound;

'T is pleasure to our ears;

A sovereign balm for every wound,

A cordial for our fears.



Buried in sorrow an din 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.
