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.
