SALVATION THROUGH CHRIST.
                 Our wandering feet shall stray no more,
                   But mark his steps and keep the road.
               171              C. M.
                               Salvation.
               1  C ALVATION ! O the joyful sound
                 O ’Tis pleasure to our ears ;
                 A sovereign balm for every wound,
                   A cordial for our fears.
               2  Buried in sorrow and in sin,
                   At hell’s dark door we lay;
                 But we arise by grace divine,
                   To see a heavenly day.
               3  Salvation ! let the echo fly
                   The spacious earth around,
                 While all the armies of the sky
                   Conspire to raise the sound.
               172          8s, 7s, and 4s.
                              .Free salvation.
               1   | ESUS is our great salvation,
                    Worthy of our best esteem ;
                 lie has saved his favorite nation,
                   Join to sing aloud to him ;
                     He hath saved us—
                   Christ alone could us redeem.
               2  When involved in sin and ruin,
                   And no helper there was found,
                 Jesus our distress was viewing ;
                   Grace did more than sin abound ;
                     He hath called us
                   With salvation in the sound.
