144. Salvation! Oh the Joyful Sound

C.M.
by I. Watts, 1709; chorus and v. 2, Anon., 1744
1
Salvation! Oh the joyful sound!
 
What pleasure to our ears!
 
A sovereign balm for every wound,
 
A cordial for our fears.
Glory, honor, praise and power,
 
Be unto the Lamb forever;
 
Jesus Christ is our Redeemer,
 
Hallelujah, praise ye the Lord.
2
Salvation! O ascended Lamb,
 
To Thee the praise belongs!
 
Salvation shall inspire our hearts,
 
And dwell upon our tongues.
“My mouth shall show forth thy righteousness and thy salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers thereof.” (Psalm 71:15)
