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!
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.
Cried the cross on Calv’ry’s hill:
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
Precious blood is speaking still:
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
Jesus died
our judgment bore;
Rising
life to us He gave;
To the heav’ns with Him we soar.
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
’Tis the gospel word in truth:
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
This
man’s troubled heart can soothe:
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
Weary ones find rest and peace;
Sorrowful
rejoice always;
Sinners
wait no longer
please;
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
Still proclaim this gospel word:
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
Speak till all on earth have heard:
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
Grace of God to all is giv’n
E’en to those whose sins are grave.
Still I’ll tell
though voice grows thin:
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
