Waft, ye winds, and tell the story
Over heaven, and earth, and sea;
Tell aloud in realms of glory
Jesus! Jesus died for me.
When the vine and fig-tree blossom,
When my mind from care is free—
Whisper by the Spirit’s mission,
Jesus! Jesus died for me.
When, as oft, by cares surrounded,
Sorrow all around there be,
Ever hear the echo sounded,
Jesus! Jesus died for me.
Onward, onward, through my journey;
Home, abroad, where’er I be;
Tell me name and work so worthy! Jesus!
Jesus died for me.
In the coming day of wonder,
When Christ’s bride like Him will be,
All shall hear above and under,
Jesus! Jesus died for me!
