55. The Hiding-Place Is Nigh

1 Salvation! oh, the joyful sound!
What pleasure to our ears!
A sovereign balm for every wound,
A cordial for our fears.

Refrain:
Sinners, the hiding-place is nigh;
The Saviour calls—away!
He is the only refuge, fly!
There’s danger in delay.

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! oh, thou bleeding Lamb,
To thee the praise belongs!
Salvation shall inspire our hearts,
And dwell upon our tongues. [Refrain]
