#231: Jesus Saves!

(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith)

1

We have heard the joyful sound – Jesus saves! Jesus saves!

Spread the tidings all around – Jesus saves! Jesus saves!

Bear the news to ev’ry 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! Echoe 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 thru the gloom, When the hearth 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!
