We Have Heard a Joyful Sound

(JESUS SAVES. 7, 6, 7, 6, 7, 7, 7, 6)

William J. Kirkpatrick

1. We have heard a joyful sound: Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
   Tell the message 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!
   
2. Waft it on the rolling tide: Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
   Say 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 !
   
3. Sing above the toil and 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, Highest hills and deepest caves;
   This our song of victory,-- Jesus saves! Jesus saves! Amen.
