Author: Priscilla Jane Owens, 1829-1907 Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.7.6 Appears in 522 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We have heard the joyful sound,
Jesus saves, Jesus saves!

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's caves;
earth shall keep her jubilee:
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
3 Sing above the battle's 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
to every strand that ocean laves;
this our song of victory,
Jesus saves! Jesus saves! Topics: Evangelism; Gladness / Happiness; One Life in Christ Faith; Salvation; Victory / Triumph Scripture: Matthew 1:21 Used With Tune: JESUS SAVES
