The grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men.
Titus 2:11
Words & Music: Philip P. Bliss, in Gospel Hymns No. 2 (New York: Biglow & Main, 1876), number 1 (🔊 pdf nwc).
Come, sing the Gospel’s joyful sound,
Salvation full and free;
Proclaim to all the world around,
The year of jubilee!
Refrain
Salvation, salvation,
The grace of God doth bring;
Salvation, salvation,
Thro’ Christ our Lord and king.
Ye mourning souls, aloud rejoice;
Ye blind, your Savior see!
Ye prisoners, sing with thankful voice,
The Lord hath made you free!
Refrain
With rapture swell the song again,
Of Jesus’ dying love;
’Tis peace on earth, good will to men,
And praise to God above.
