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