Verse 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!

Verse 2

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!

Verse 3

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!
