369. Salvation, O the joyful sound!

1 Salvation! O the joyful sound!
'Tis pleasure to our ears;
A sovereign balm for every wound,
A cordial for our fears.
Glory, honour, praise, and power,
Be unto the Lamb for ever!
Jesus Christ is our Redeemer;
Hallelujah! praise the Lord.

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.
Glory, honour, praise, and power,
Be unto the Lamb for ever!
Jesus Christ is our Redeemer;
Hallelujah! praise the Lord.

3 Salvation! let the echo fly
The spacious earth around,
While all the armies of the sky
Conspire to raise the sound.
Glory, honour, praise, and power,
Be unto the Lamb for ever!
Jesus Christ is our Redeemer;
Hallelujah! praise the Lord.
