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.
