Salvation, Oh, the joyful sound,
‘Tis music to our ears;
A sovereign balm for every wound,
A cure for all 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! O thou Lamb of God,
To thee the praise belongs:
Salvation shall inspire our hearts,
And dwell upon our tongues.
Salvation! let the echo fly
The spacious earth around;
While all the armies of the sky
Conspire to raise the sound.
---Alternative verses---
Salvation, oh, 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 arrive by grace divine,
To see an heavenly day.
