140. Salvation, oh, the joyful sound!

1 Salvation, oh the joyful sound!
'Tis music 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.

Chorus:
Glory, honor, praise, and power,
Be unto the Lamb forever;
Jesus Christ is our Redeemer,
Hallelujah! praise the Lord!
