1
We have heard a joyful sound, Jesus saves, Jesus saves;
Spread the gladness 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 through 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.
