We have heard a joyful sound
"I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you." I Cor. 15:1.
We have heard a joyful sound
'Jesus saves!'
Spread the gladness all around:
'Jesus saves!'
Bear the news to every land,
Climb the steeps and cross the waves;
Onward! 'Tis our Lord's command.
'Jesus saves!'
Waft it on the rolling tide:
"Jesus saves!'
Tell to sinners far and wide, sk
'Jesus saves!'
Sing, ye Islands of the sea;
Echo back, ye ocean caves;
Earth shall keep her Jubilee:
'Jesus saves!' sin
Sing above the battle's strife
"Jesus saves!'
By His death and endless life
'Jesus saves!'
Sing it softly through the gloom,
When the heart for mercy craves;
Sing triumph o'er the tomb,
'Jesus saves!'
Give the winds a mighty voice
'Jesus saves!'
Let the nation now rejoice:
'Jesus saves!'
Shout salvation full and free
To every strand that ocean laves.
This our song of victory,
'Jesus saves!'
