Jesus Saves! (hymn)

667 Jesus Saves!

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;
   Echo 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 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! Jesus saves!
   Shout salvation full and free;
   Highest hills and deepest caves;
   This our song of victory:
   Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
