O how sweet the glorious message

lyricist: Albert Benjamin Simpson
Composer: J. H. Burke

O how sweet the glorious message

Simple faith may 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.

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.

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.

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.
