Jesus Saves!

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 strife:  
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!  
By His death and endless life,  
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!  
Sing it softly thro' 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!
