Author: H. L. G. Hymnal: OSSE1906 #51 (1906) First Line: Jesus stood on the shore, when the morning came Refrain First Line: Jesus stands on the shore today Lyrics: 1 Jesus stood on the shore, when the morning came,
Appearing to his friends once more,
The beloved disciple knew the Lord,
Who lov’d him as in days of yore.
Refrain:
Jesus stands on the shore today,
Helping struggling souls by the way,
On the land, or wave, Jesus waits to save,
He never turns a soul away.
2 Jesus stood by the way, when the beggar blind,
For mercy cried thro’ nature’s night,
As he cast down his garments at his feet,
By faith he there received his sight. [Refrain]
3 Jesus stood by the grave of the friend he lov’d,
And showed his resurrection pow’r;
Quickly gave the command “come forth, come forth”
Unloose, and let him go this hour. [Refrain]
4 Jesus standeth today at the mercy seat,
Our Advocate with God above;
Shows his nail-pierced hands, and pleading stands,
Unchanging in his wondrous love. [Refrain] Tune Title: [Jesus stood on the shore, when the morning came]
Jesus Stood On the Shore
