This Great Salvation

How great the sal­va­tion that saves in the hour

When doubt and temp­ta­tion as­sail with great pow­er

When tem­pests arise

and dark storms sweep the soul

And bil­lows of grief o’er the trem­bling heart roll!

Oh

this great

this great sal­va­tion;

Tell its pow­er to ev­ery na­tion;

Let it ring thro’ all cre­ation:

Jesus saves

oh

great sal­va­tion!

How great the sal­va­tion that saves in the gloom

Of val­ley and sha­dow

that lights up the tomb

With glo­ry im­mor­tal

and shouts o’er the grave

The tri­umph of Je­sus

the migh­ty to save!

How great the sal­va­tion re­vealed in the day

The trum­pet shall sound and the heav­ens roll away

When Christ shall des­cend as a con­quer­or and king

When we shall be like Him

His prais­es to sing!
