Doctor Watts's Imitation of the Psalms of David ‎#H.XLVI

H.XLVI. Salvation

1 Salvation! Oh, the joyful sound!
'Tis pleasure to our ears;
A sovereign balm for every wound,
A cordial for our fears.

2 Bury'd in sorrow, and in sin,
At hell's dark door we lay:
But we arise, by grace divine,
To see a heavenly day.

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