1 Our blessed Lord is just the same,
As when beside the calm, blue sea,
He cured the sick, the blind the lame
Who dwelt in His loved Galilee.

Refrain:
O praise His name! He’s just the same
As when He cured the blind and lame,
Be speech and song the news proclaim:
Today, our Lord will save the same.

2 O praise His name! He’s just the same
As when He cleansed the lepers ten,
Those in the depths of sin and shame,
He waits to cleanse as He did then. [Refrain]

3 O praise His name! He’s just the same
As when He saved the Magdalene
Who so revered and loved the name
Of the sin-pard’ning Nazarene. [Refrain]

4 O praise His name! He’s just the same
As in the golden days of old,
When all who came, of ev’ry name,
He cleansed and welcomed to His fold. [Refrain]
