1 

We have heard the joyful sound:

   Jesus saves! Jesus saves!

Spread the tidings all around:

   Jesus saves! Jesus saves!

Bear the news to every 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's 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.
