The Very Same Jesus

lyricist: Eliza Hewitt, 1891
Composer: William Kirkpatrick

Come

sin­ners

to the liv­ing One

He’s just the same Je­sus

As when He raised the wi­dow’s son

The ve­ry same Je­sus.

The ve­ry same Je­sus

The won­der work­ing Je­sus;

Oh praise His name

He’s just the same

The ve­ry same Je­sus.

Come

feast up­on the liv­ing bread

He’s just the same Je­sus

As when the mul­ti­tudes He fed

The ve­ry same Je­sus.

Come

tell Him all your griefs and fears

He’s just the same Je­sus

As when He shed those lov­ing tears

The ve­ry same Je­sus.

Still fol­low Him for clear­er light

He’s just the same Je­sus

As when He gave the blind their sight

The ve­ry same Je­sus.

Then calm ’midst waves of trou­ble be

He’s just the same Je­sus

As when He hushed the rag­ing sea

The ve­ry same Je­sus.

Some day our rap­tured eyes shall see

He’s just the same Je­sus

Oh

bless­èd day for you and me!

The ve­ry same Je­sus.
