Hymn 2:88 [Salvation! O, The Joyful Sound!]

________________________________________________
Title:     Hymn 2:88 [Salvation! O, The Joyful Sound!]
Author: Isaac Watts [More Titles by Watts]

Salvation.


Salvation! O, the joyful sound!
'Tis pleasure to our ears;
A sovereign balm for every wound,
A cordial for our fears.

Buried in sorrow and in sin,
At hell's dark door we lay,
But we arise by grace divine
To see a heavenly day.

Salvation! let the echo fly
The spacious earth around,
While all the armies of the sky
Conspire to raise the sound.





[The end]
Isaac Watts's poem: Hymn 2:88 [salvation! O, The Joyful Sound!]
