Text: | Salvation, O the joyful sound! |
Author: | Isaac Watts |
Tune: | PRIMROSE |
Composer: | Amzi Chapin |
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.
