Refrain: Oh, this great, this great salvation; Tell its power to every nation; Let it ring thro’ all creation: Jesus saves, oh, great salvation! 2 How great the salvation that saves in the gloom Of valley and shadow, that lights up the tomb With glory immortal, and shouts o’er the grave The triumph of Jesus, the mighty to save!
