Jesus Saves
Priscilla Owens, 1882
William J. Kirkpatrick, 1882

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!

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!

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!
