1. We have heard a joyful sound, ‘Jesus saves!’ Spread the gladness all around; ‘Jesus saves!’ Bear the news to ever land, Climb the steeps and cross the waves; Onward! ‘tis the 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’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!’ 4.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 sing of victory, ‘Jesus saves!’.
