1 There’s a Friend who changeth never,
Always constant, always true,
And His tenderness unfailing,
Is as fragrant as the dew,
Is as fragrant as the dew.

Refrain:
He’s the same today as yesterday,
My great unchanging Friend;
He’s the same today as yesterday,
Just the same unto the end;
By His mighty pow’r He holds me,
In His arms of love enfolds me;
He’s the same today as yesterday,
My great unchanging Friend.

2 And His wondrous name is Jesus,
Mighty guardian of His own,
His all-seeing eye is watching,
From His place beside the throne,
From His place beside the throne. [Refrain]

3 And as days gone by have proven,
So the future days will be;
Tho’ the scenes around are changing,
He remaineth constantly,
He remaineth constantly. [Refrain]
