"Original Sacred Harp" (Denson Revision) 1960 Edition ‎#47a

47a. Salvation, O the joyful sound!

1 Salvation, O the joyful sound, ’Tis pleasure to our ears; A sov’reign balm for ev’ry wound, A cordial for our fears. 2 Buried in sorrow and in sin, At hell’s dark door we lay; But we arise by grace divine To see a heav’nly day. 3 Salvation! Let the echo fly The spacious earth around; While all the armies of the sky Conspire to raise the sound.
