Gloria Deo ‎#633

633. Salvation! Oh, the Joyful Sound

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

Refrain:
Hallelujah for salvation;
Hallelujah to the Lamb!
Free and full, the sinners’ pardon—
Hallelujah! Amen.

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