| 1. Salvation! O the joyful sound!
What pleasure to our ears!
A sovereign balm for every wound,
A cordial for our fears.
2. 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.
3. Glory, honor, praise, and power,
Be unto the Lamb forever:
Jesus Christ is our Redeemer:
Hallelujah, Praise the Lord.
4. Salvation! let the echo fly
The spacious earth around;
While all the armies of the sky
Conspire to raise the sound!
5. Salvation! O Thou bleeding Lamb,
To Thee the praise belongs;
Salvation shall inspire our hearts,
And dwell upon our tongues.
6. **alt verses
7. Salvation, Oh the joyful sound,
’Tis pleasure to our ears;
A sov’reign balm for ev’ry wound,
A cordial for our fears.
8. Salvation! O the joyful sound!
What music to our ears!
A sovereign balm for every wound,
A cordial for our fears.
