Salvation through my dying God
Is finished and complete;
He paid whate'er his people owed,
And cancelled all their debt.
Salvation from the depths of hell�
From seas of quenchless fire,
To yon sweet fields where angels dwell,
And strike the golden lyre.
�Salvation! O melodious sound
To wretched, dying men!
Salvation that from God proceed,
And leads to God again.�
Salvation now shall be my stay;
�A sinner saved,� I'll cry;
Then gladly quit this mortal clay
For better joys on high.
Salvation to sweet harps of gold,
My raptured soul shall sing,
And strike, while endless ages roll?
The ever-tuneful string.
Salvation, let the tidings fly,
Through earth's remotest bound;
'Till all the chosen heirs of grace
Shall tread celestial ground.
