1 We have heard the joyful sound -
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
Spread the tidings all around -
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
Bear the news to ev'ry land,
Climb the steeps and cross the waves;
Onward! 'tis our Lord's command -
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
2 Waft it on the rolling tide -
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
Tell to sinners far and wide -
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
Sing, ye islands of the sea!
Echo back, ye ocean caves!
Earth shall keep her jubilee -
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
3 Sing above the battle strife -
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
By His death and endless life -
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
Sing it softly thru the gloom,
When the heart for mercy craves;
Sing in triumph o'er the tomb -
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
4 Give the winds a mighty voice -
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
Let the nations now rejoice -
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
Shout salvation full and free,
Highest hills and deepest caves;
This our song of victory -
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
