O how sweet the glorious message,

|
| 1. | O how sweet the glorious message, |
| | Simple faith my claim; |
| | Yesterday, today, forever, |
| | Jesus is the same. |
| | Still He loves to save the sinful, |
| | Heal the sick and lame; |
| | Cheer the mourner, still the tempest; |
| | Glory to His name! |
| | 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 was the friend of sinners, |
| | Seeks thee, 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. |
| 3. | Oft on earth He healed the suff'rer, |
| | By His mighty hand; |
| | Still our sicknesses and sorrows, |
| | Go at His command. |
| | He who gave His healing virtue, |
| | To a woman's touch; |
| | To the faith that claims His fulness, |
| | Still will give as much. |
| 4. | 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 we shall behold Him, |
| | Hasten, Lord, the day! |
| | But 'twill still be "this same Jesus," |
| | As he went away. |
