1 Salvation, shout the joyful sound,
And let it fly the earth around,
The tidings spread o’er land and sea,
Redemption purchased, full and free.

Refrain:
Sound aloud the joyful story,
Sing the Savior’s deeds and glory,
Bear to every land and nation
Tidings of a free salvation.

2 For sinners helpless, lost and done,
God freely gave his only Son;
There souls to ransom, Jesus died,
On Calvary was crucified. [Refrain]

3 Behold his precious, crimson blood,
A cleansing and a healing flood;
Oh, come and wash thy sins away,
His yoke assume, his will obey. [Refrain]

4 On Christ with all thy heart believe,
Eternal life shalt thou receive;
Thy many sins shall be forgiv’n,
And thou shalt be an heir of heav’n. [Refrain]
