O Lord, Say Unto My Soul, I Am Thy Salvation

Verse 1

Salvation! O melodious sound To wretched dying men! Salvation, that from God proceeds, And leads to God again.

Verse 2

Rescu'd from Hell's eternal gloom, From fiends, and fires, and chains: Rais'd to a Paradise of bliss, Where love triumphant reigns!

Verse 3

But may a poor bewilder'd soul, Sinful and weak as mine, Presume to raise a trembling eye To blessings so divine?

Verse 4

The lustre of so bright a bliss My feeble heart o'erbears; And unbelief almost perverts The promise into tears.

Verse 5

My Savior God, no voice but thine These dying hopes can raise: Speak thy salvation to my soul, And turn my prayer to praise.
