Music by James H. Burke, words by Albert B. Simpson
Oh, how sweet the glorious message simple faith may claim:
Yesterday, today, forever, Jesus is the same;
Still He loves to save the sinful, heal the sick and lame,
Cheer the mourner, calm the tempest-- glory to His name!
Yesterday, today, forever, Jesus is the same,
All may change, but Jesus never-- glory to His name!
Glory to His name! Glory to His name!
All may change, but Jesus never-- glory to His name!
He who pardoned erring Peter, never need you fear,
He who came to faithless Thomas, all your doubt will clear;
He who let the loved disciple on His bosom rest
Bids you still, with love as tender, lean upon His breast.
He who 'mid the raging billows walked upon the sea
Still can hush our wildest tempest, as on Galilee;
He who wept and prayed in anguish in Gethsemane
Drinks with us each cup of trembling, in our agony.
As He walked once to Emmaus, with them to abide,
So through all life's way He's walking ever near our side;
Soon again we shall behold Him-- hasten, Lord, the day!
But 'twill still be this same Jesus as He went away.
