1. We have heard the joyful sound
|: Jesus saves! :|
Spread the tidings 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! :|
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! :|
