Hymn.

The great Salvation.

1 SALVATION! O the joyful sound!
'Tis pleasure to our ears;
A sov'reign balm for ev'ry 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 heav'nly day.

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

Hymn.

The great Salvation.

1 SALVATION! O the pow'r and love That here triumphant reign,

To raise the soul from death and hell
To life and GOD again!

2 Salvation! may it's sov'reign pow'r
Each stubborn soul subdue,

And tune our tongues to loftier strains
Than ever mortals knew.

3 Salvation! O Thou bleeding LAMB!
To Thee the praise belongs:
Salvation shall inspire our hearts,
And dwell upon our tongues.

Hymn.

Jubilee.

ye the trumpet, blow The gladly solemn sound! Let all the nations know,

To earth's remotest bound,
The year of jubilee is come;
Return, ye ransom'd sinners, home.

Exalt the LAMB of GOD,
The sin-atoning LAMB;
Redemption by His blood

Through all the lands proclaim :

The year of jubilee is come;
Return, ye ransom'd sinners, home.

Ye slaves of sin and hell,
Your liberty receive;
And safe in JESUS dwell,

And blest in JESUS live:!

The year of jubilee is come;
Return, ye ransom'd sinners, home.

The Gospel-trumpet hear,

The news of pard'ning grace:
Ye happy souls, draw near,

Behold your SAVIOUR'S face:
The year of jubilee is come;
Return, ye ransom'd sinners, home.

5 JESUS our great High Priest Has full atonement made: Ye weary spirits, rest;

Ye mournful souls, be glad!

The year of jubilee is come;
Return, ye ransom'd sinners, home.

Hymn.

Praise for Redemption.

1 Now begin the heav'nly theme,
Sing aloud the SAVIOUR'S Name:
Ye, who JESU's kindness prove,
Triumph in-Redeeming Love.

2 Ye, who see the FATHER'S grace
Beaming in IMMANUEL'S face,
As to Canaan on ye move,
Praise and bless-Redeeming Love.

3 Mourning souls, dry up your tears,
Banish all your guilty fears;
See your guilt and sin remove,
Cancell❜d by-Redeeming Love.

4 Ye, alas! who long have been
Willing slaves of death and sin,
Now from bliss no longer rove,
Stop and taste-Redeeming Love.

5 Welcome, all by sin opprest,
Welcome to His sacred rest;
Come, and all the sweetness prove
Of our LORD'S-Redeeming Love,

6 Hither all your music bring,
Strike aloud the cheerful string;
Come, and join the hosts above,
Shouting loud-Redeeming Love.

Hymn.

Praise for Redemption.

1 PLUNG'D in a gulf of dark despair
We wretched sinners lay,
Without one cheerful beam of hope,
Or spark of glimm'ring day.

2 With pitying eyes the Prince of Peace
Beheld our helpless grief;

He saw, and (O amazing love!)
He ran to our relief.

3 Down from the shining seats above
With joyful haste He fled,
Entered the grave in mortal flesh,
And dwelt among the dead.

4 He spoil'd the pow'rs of darkness thus,
And brake our iron chains :
JESUS has freed our captive souls
From everlasting pains.

5 O for this love let rocks and hills
Their lasting silence break,
And all harmonious human tongues
, The SAVIOUR's praises speak!

6 Yes, we will praise Thee, dearest LORD; Our souls are all on flame:

Hosanna round the spacious earth
To Thine adored Name.

Hymn.

Praise for the Fountain opened.

1 THERE is a fountain fill'd with blood
Drawn from IMMANUEL's veins;
And sinners, plung'd beneath that flood,
Lose all their guilty stains.

2 Dear dying LAMB, Thy precious blood
Shall never lose it's pow'r,
Till all the ransom'd church of GOD
Be sav'd to sin no more.

3 E'er since, by faith, I saw the stream
Thy flowing wounds supply,
Redeeming love has been my theme,
And shall be till I die.

4 Then in a nobler, sweeter song I'll sing Thy pow'r to save,

When this poor lisping stamm'ring tongue Lies silent in the grave.

5 LORD, I believe Thou hast prepar'd
(Unworthy though I be)

For me a blood-bought free reward,
A golden harp for me!

6 "Tis strung, and tun'd, for endless years, And form'd by pow'r divine,

To sound in GOD the FATHER's ears
No other Name but Thine.
