He Is Just the Same Today

Author: Jacob W. Byers Hymnal: Timeless Truths #491 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D with refrain First Line: Have you ever heard of Jesus Lyrics: 1 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. Refrain: He is just the same today, He is just the same today; Yes, He healed in Galilee, Set the suff’ring captives free, And He’s just the same today. 2 Do you see the people gather Round that great and holy Man, Bringing all the sick and suff’ring, 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. [Refrain] 3 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. [Refrain] 4 Oh, that precious, loving Jesus! His compassion still the same, Toward poor sinful, suff’ring 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. [Refrain] Scripture: Hebrews 13:8 Tune Title: [Have you ever heard of Jesus]
