Hymn 133 - Yesterday, Today, Forever

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!

He who was the friend of sinners

Seeks the lost one now;

Sinner, come, and at His footstool

Penitently bow;

He who said “I’ll not condemn thee,

Go, and sin no more,”

Speaks to Thee that word of pardon,

As in days of yore.

He who pardoned erring Peter,

Never need’st thou fear;

He who came to faithless Thomas

All thy doubt will clear;

He who let the loved disciple

On His bosom rest

Bids thee 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 of old He walked to Emmaus

With them to abide,

So, through all life’s way He walketh,

Ever near our side;

Soon again shall we behold Him

Hasten, Lord, the day!

But ’twill still be “this same Jesus,”

As He went away.

REFRAIN

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!
