34. Salvation Through Christ Jesus

7.6.7.6.D.
1
Salvation through Christ Jesus!
 
Endearing, precious sound!
 
Shout, shout the word "salvation"
 
To earth’s remotest bound — 
 
Salvation for the guilty,
 
Salvation for the lost;
 
Salvation for the wretched,
 
The sad and tempest-tossed.
2
Salvation for the agèd,
 
Salvation for the young,
 
Salvation e’en for children,
 
Proclaim with joyful tongue;
 
Salvation for the wealthy,
 
Salvation for the poor,
 
Salvation for the lowly,
 
Yes, life forevermore!
3
Salvation without money,
 
Salvation without price,
 
Salvation without labor — 
 
Believing doth suffice;
 
Salvation now, this moment;
 
Then why, oh, why delay?
 
You may not see tomorrow,
 
Now is salvation’s day.
