Hymn 615
Jesus is the same for ever
Meter: 8.7.8.7.D.
Scripture: Heb. 13:8
Jesus is the same for ever,
As of old, so now today;
All the hosts of hell endeavour
Vainly to obstruct His sway,
In His people’s hearts He reigneth,
Finishes what He begins,
Jesus still “all power” reigneth,
Saves His people from their sins.
Jesus is the same for ever;
Yes, He heals the sick to-day
As of old so how, He never
Turns one suff’ring child away.
He can cure the worst diseases
For He understands our frame;
Bore our griefs, and so releases
All who dare their rights too claim.
Jesus is the same for ever;
Still He says “In Me abide.”
From His love no pow’r can sever
Those who in their Lord confide
Sweetly from all care He frees us,
Ours the comfort-His the shame.
Blessed Saviour; precious Jesus
There’s no music like Thy name.
