    Salvation, O the joyful sound!
    ‘Tis pleasure to our ears;
    A sov’reign balm for ev’ry wound,
    A cordial for our fears.

    Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
    Bears all its sons away;
    They fly forgotten, as a dream
    Dies at the opening day.

    Alas! and did my Saviour bleed,
    And did my Sovereign die?
    Would he devote that sacred Head
    For such a worm as I?
