1. We have heard the joyful sound: Jesus saves! Spread the tidings all around: Jesus saves! Bear the news to ev'ry land, Climb the steeps and cross the waves; Onward! 'tis our Lord's command; Jesus saves! 2. Sing above the battle strife: Jesus saves! By His death and endless life Jesus saves! Sing it softly thro' the gloom, When the heart for mercy craves; Sing in triumph o'er the tomb: Jesus saves! 3. Give the winds a mighty voice: Jesus saves! Let the nations now rejoice: Jesus saves! Shout salvation full and free; Highest hills and deepest caves; This our song of victory: Jesus saves!
