'Jesus saves!'
Spread the gladness all around,
'Jesus saves!'
Bear the news to every land,
climb the steeps and cross the waves.
Onward! -- ’tis our Lord’s command.
Jesus saves!.
2 Waft it on the rolling tide,
'Jesus saves!'
Tell to sinners, far and wide,
'Jesus saves!'
Sing, ye islands of the sea,
echo back, ye ocean caves;
earth shall keep the jubilee:
Jesus saves!
3 Sing above the battle strife,
'Jesus saves!'
By his death and endless life,
'Jesus saves!'
Sing it softly through the gloom,
when the heart for mercy craves,
sing in triumph o’er the tomb,
'Jesus saves!'
4 Give the winds a mighty voice,
'Jesus saves!'
Let the nations now rejoice,
'Jesus saves!'
Shout salvation full and free,
to every strand that ocean laves --
this our song of victory,
'Jesus saves!' Topics: Our Response to God in mission and service; Salvation and Redemption; Witness Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:54-57 Languages: English Tune Title: LIMPSFIELD
