He Is Just the Same Today

lyricist: Jacob Byers, 1897 Music: Andrew Byers
Composer: Andrew Byers

Have you ev­er heard of Je­sus

How He came from Heav’n to earth

With a name of migh­ty vir­tue

Though by ve­ry hum­ble birth?

When the world was held in bond­age

Under Sa­tan’s dis­mal sway

Jesus healed their dread dis­eas­es—

He is just the same to­day.

He is just the same to­day

He is just the same to­day;

Yes

He healed in Ga­li­lee

Set the suf­fer­ing cap­tives free

And He’s just the same to­day.

Do you see the peo­ple ga­ther

Round that great and ho­ly Man

Bringing all the sick and suf­fer­ing

Coming to Him all who can?

See Him look with great com­pas­sion

As they faint­ed by the way!

How He called them gent­ly to Him!

He is just the same to­day.

Is it true that ev­ery sick­ness

May be laid at Je­sus’ feet?

All my trou­ble

care and sor­row

And I rest in joy com­plete?

Yes

my bro­ther

ev­ery sad­ness

If by faith to Him you pray

He’ll re­move

with ten­der mer­cy

For He’s just the same to­day.

Oh

that pre­cious

lov­ing Je­sus!

His com­pas­sion still the same

T’ward poor sin­ful

suf­fer­ing mor­tals

Who seek re­fuge in His name.

Heed the pre­sent in­vi­ta­tion

Oh

you need not stay away!

Just re­ceive His heal­ing fa­vor

For He’s just the same to­day.
