393. We have heard the joyful sound

1 We have heard the joyful sound:
Jesus saves!
Tell the message 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!

2 Waft it on the rolling tide:
Jesus saves!
Say to sinners far and wide:
Jesus saves!
Sing, ye islands of the sea,
Echo back, ye ocean waves;
Earth shall keep her jubilee:
Jesus saves! ·

3 Sing above the toil and strife:
Jesus saves!
By his death and endless life
Jesus saves!
Sing it softly through the gloom,
When the heart for mercy craves;
Sing in triumph o’er the tomb:
Jesus saves!

4 Give the winds a mighty voice:
Jesus saves!
Let the nations now rejoice:
Jesus saves!
Shout salvation full and free
To each land the ocean laves;
This our song of victory:
Jesus saves!
