340. Jesus Saves

G                                                D
We have heard a joyful sound, Jesus saves, Jesus saves;

D7         G                          D      D7    G
Spread the gladness all around, Jesus saves, Jesus saves;

C                            G                              D
Bear the news to every land, Climb the steeps and cross the waves,

D       G        D      C        G     D      D7    G
Onward, ’tis our Lord’s command, Jesus saves, Jesus saves.


[[Full Lyrics]]

[Verse 1]
We have heard a joyful sound,
Jesus saves, Jesus saves;
Spread the gladness all around,
Jesus saves, Jesus saves;
Bear the news to every land,
Climb the steeps and cross the waves,
Onward, ’tis our Lord’s command,
Jesus saves, Jesus saves.

[Verse 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.

[Verse 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.

[Verse 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.
