Salvation!

1Salvation!
O the joyful sound, 'Tis pleasure to our ears,
A sov'reign balm for ev'ry wound,
A cordial for our fears.

2Buried in sorrow and in sin,
At hell's dark door we lay;
But we arise, by grace divine,
To see a heav'nly day.

3Salvation! let the echo fly The spacious earth around,
While all the armies of the sky Unite to swell the sound.
