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!
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.
3
Sing above the battle’s strife,
  Jesus saves, Jesus saves;
By His death and endless life,
  Jesus saves, Jesus saves;
Sing it softly thru 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.

This song has run through my mind for many years.

Beautiful and moving! Thank you for uploading this song. Rarely song these days but conveying the truth and the powerful of the gospel simply but with strong force. "... salvation full and free..". very comforting .. price fully paid by the Lord Jesus. All we need is to just accept the free gift for salvation from sin and death. Hallelujah!. This is different from the false gospel common these days which still requires to meet certain conditions, fulfil requirements or pay a price to access God's blessings. But because of the grace of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ alone we can shout V-I-C-T-O-R-Y!!!

This is soul piercing and nostalgic. The words and the tempo of the hymn makes me demolish Satanic strongholds and barriers. Jesus Saves! And I thank him for Saving me.

A soul-stiring song for evangelism. I love the line that says "onward tis our Lord's command". It motivates me into soul-winning. Thank you Jesus.

Amen! This sing gives hope to everyone Who wishes to receive redemption of God.

Stanzas 3 and 4 are different and stanza 5 is added:

3. Cried the cross on Calv'ry's hill:

Jesus saves! Jesus saves!

Precious blood is speaking still:

Jesus saves! Jesus saves!

Jesus died, our judgment bore;

Rising, life to us He gave;

To the heav'ns with Him we soar.

Jesus saves! Jesus saves!

4. 'Tis the gospel word in truth:

Jesus saves! Jesus saves!

This, man's troubled heart can soothe:

Jesus saves! Jesus saves!

Weary ones find rest and peace;

Sorrowful, rejoice always;

Sinners, wait no longer, please;

Jesus saves! Jesus saves!

5. Still proclaim this gospel word:

Jesus saves! Jesus saves!

Speak till all on earth have heard:

Jesus saves! Jesus saves!

Grace of God to all is giv'n,

E'en to those whose sins are grave.

Still I'll tell, though voice grows thin:

Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
