We have heard a joyful sound - "Jesus saves!"
Spread the gladness all around - "Jesus saves!"
Bear the news to every land
Climb the steeps and cross the waves
Onward! - 'tis our Lord's command
"Jesus saves!"
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!"
Sing above the battle's 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!"
Give the winds a mighty voice, "Jesus saves!"
Let the nations now rejoice, "Jesus saves!"
Shout salvation full and free
To every strand that ocean laves
This, our song of victory
"Jesus saves!"
