Songs of Praise and Salvation ‎#100

100. Salvation

1 Salvation! Oh, the joyful sound!
What pleasure to our ears!
A sovereign balm for ev’ry wound,
A cordial for our fears.

Refrain:
Salvation full! salvation free!
Salvation reaches even me;
My heart is clean thro’ Jesus' blood,
All glory to the Lamb of God.

2 Salvation! let the echo fly
The spacious earth around;
While all the armies of the sky
Conspire to raise the sound! [Refrain]

3 Salvation, oh, Thou bleeding Lamb!
To Thee the praise belongs;
Salvation shall inspire our hearts,
And dwell upon our tongues. [Refrain]
