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.
