First Line: We have heard the joyful sound,

We have heard the joyful sound :
Jesus saves ! Jesus saves !
Tell the message all around :
Jesus saves ! Jesus saves !
Bear the news to every land, [waves ;
Climb the steeps and cross the
Onward ! — 'tis our Lord's command:
Jesus saves ! Jesus saves !

2 Waft it on the rolling tide :
Jesus saves ! Jesus saves !
Say 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 toil and 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 I Jesus saves !
Shout salvation full and free
To every strand that ocean laves ;
This our song of victory,
Jesus saves ! Jesus saves !
