Hymn 615

Jesus is the same for ever

Meter: 8.7.8.7.D.

Scripture: Heb. 13:8

1

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.

2

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.

3

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.
