Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Southern Harmony, and Musical Companion (New ed. thoroughly rev. and much enl.) #3 (1854) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics:
1.
Salvation! O the joyful sound!
'Tis pleasure to our ears!
A sovereign balm for every 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 heavenly day.
3.
Salvation! let the echo fly
The spacious earth around,
While all the armies of the sky
Conspire to raise the sound.
Languages: English Tune Title: PRIMROSE
Salvation! O the joyful sound!
