Salvation! O the Joyful Sound!

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

hon­or

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.
