lyrics
We have
heard the joyful sound: Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
Spread the tidings 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!
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, you ocean caves;
Earth shall keep her jubilee: Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
Sing
above the battle strife: Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
By His death and endless life Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
Shout it brightly through the gloom, when the heart for mercy craves;
Sing in triumph o’er the tomb: 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!
Jesus Saves
Compositor: Joel Hemphill; Priscilla J. Owens; William J. Kirkpatrick
Jesus saves, He
still does
He'll make of you someone new
Cleanse the sin that was.
The Holy Spirit whispers
No more must you be enslaved
Just believe it, Jesus saves.
We talk of Heaven's beauty and that's good
We talk of loving others and we should
But to a dying world the greatest thing that we can say
Is "Take a look at Calvary, Jesus saves".
Jesus saves, He still does
He'll make of you someone new
Cleanse the sin that was.
The Holy Spirit whispers
No more must you be enslaved
Just believe it, Jesus saves.
We have heard the joyful sound
Jesus saves, Jesus saves
Spread the tidings all around
Jesus saves, Jesus saves.
Jesus saves, He still
does
He'll make of you someone new
Cleanse the sin that was.
The Holy Spirit whispers
No more must you be enslaved
Just believe it, Jesus saves.
Jesus saves, He still does
He'll make of you someone new
Cleanse the sin that was.
The Holy Spirit whispers
No more must you be enslaved
Just believe it, Jesus saves.
The Holy Spirit whispers
No more must you be enslaved
Just believe it,
Just believe it,
Just believe it, Jesus saves.
Author: Priscilla J. Owens
Owens, Priscilla Jane, was born July 21, 1829,
of Scotch and Welsh descent, and is now (1906) resident at Baltimore, where she
is engaged in public-school work. For 50 years Miss Owen has interested herself
in Sunday-school work, and most of her hymns were written for children's
services. Her hymn in the Scotch Church Hymnary, 1898, "We have heard a
joyful sound" (Missions), was written for a Sunday-school Mission
Anniversary, and the words were adapted to the chorus "Vive le Roi"
in the opera The Huguenots. [Rev. James Bonar, M.A.] --John Julian, Dictionary
of Hymnology, Appendix II (1907)
