Have you heard the joyful sound of good news? When you feel you are at the end of your road and cannot take another step, the good news is, “Jesus saves!” What a joyful sound are those enthusiastic words: Jesus saves! When He saves you, he forgives your sins, he prepares a place in Heaven for you, He gives you a new nature, He begins to live in you through His Spirit, He makes all things new. Jesus saves!
(WE HAVE HEARD THE JOYFUL SOUND)
Priscilla J. Owens (1829-1907)
We have heard the joyful sound:
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
Spread the gladness 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!
Sing above the battle 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!
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!
