Sweet Salvation
The Lord on high proclaims His Godhead from his throne: "Mercy and justice are the names By which I will be known.” Faith in his name forbids my fear; O may thy presence ne'er depart! And in the morning draw me near The lovingkindness of thy heart. Sweet, sweet salvation, His name proclaims sweet salvation His mercy says “no condemnation” His name proclaims sweet salvation. My flesh shall rest beneath the ground, When the dark night of death shall come, My hope, my righteousness is found In Jesus Christ my Lord, alone. My God in safety makes me dwell Beneath the shadow of his wings. There I’ll wait for your voice to rouse my tomb, Of sweet salvation glory sings! Sweet, sweet salvation, His name proclaims sweet salvation His grace declares “no condemnation” His name proclaims sweet salvation. Sweet, sweet salvation, His name proclaims sweet salvation His mercy cries “no condemnation” His name proclaims sweet salvation. Anthony Foster Some words after Isaac Watts June 30, 2018
