333. Yesterday, Today, Forever

1 O 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!

Chorus:
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!

2 He who pardoned erring Peter
Never need'st thou fear,
He who came to erring 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. [Chorus]

3 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. [Chorus]

4 As of old He walked to Emmaus,
With them to abide
So thru 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. [Chorus]
