Salvation! O melodious Sound

Hymnal: Appendix, Containing a Number of Hymns Taken Chiefly from Dr. Watts's Scriptural Collection #C (1765) Lyrics: 1 Salvation! O melodious sound to wretched dying Men! Salvation, that from God proceeds, and leads to God again! 2 Rescu'd from Hell's eternal Gloom, from Fiends and fires and Chains; Rais'd to a paradise of Bliss, where Love, with Glory reigns! 3 But O! may a degen'rate Soul, sinful and weak as mine, Presume to raise a trembling Eye to Blessings so divine? 4 The Lustre of so bright a Scene my feeble Heart o'erbears; And Unbelief almost perverts the promise into Tears. 5 My Saviour-God, no Voice but Thine these dying Hopes can raise; Speak thy Salvation to my soul, and turn its Tears to Praise. 6 My Saviour-GOD this broken Voice transported shall proclaim, And call on all th' Angelic Harps to sound so sweet a Name.
