Salvation! O the joyful sound!
What pleasure to our ears!
A sovereign balm for every wound,
A cordial for our fears.
Buried in sorrow and in sin,
And at hell’s dark door we lay;
But we arise by grace divine
To see a heavenly day.
Glory, honour, praise, and power,
Be unto the Lamb forever:
Jesus Christ is our Redeemer:
Hallelujah, Praise the Lord.
Salvation! let the echo fly
The spacious earth around;
While all the armies of the sky
Conspire to raise the sound!
Salvation! O Thou bleeding Lamb,
To Thee the praise belongs;
Salvation shall inspire our hearts,
And dwell upon our tongues.
---Alternative verses---
Salvation, Oh the joyful sound,
’Tis pleasure to our ears;
A sovereign balm for every wound,
A cordial for our fears.
Salvation! O the joyful sound!
What music to our ears!
A sovereign balm for every wound,
A cordial for our fears.
