| 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's strife, |
| | Jesus saves, Jesus saves; |
| | By His death and endless life, |
| | Jesus saves, Jesus saves; |
| | Sing it softly thru 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. |
