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!
Refrain:
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!
2. He who was the friend of sinners seeks the 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.
3. 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 fullness still will give as much.
4. As He walked once to Emmaus, with them to abide,
So thro' 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.
Scripture; Hebrews 13:8; 1 Peter 1:18-19
The hymn "Oh, How Sweet the Glorious Message" was written by Philip P. Bliss in 1871. The hymn is based on the message of salvation through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
The scripture reference most closely related to the hymn is from 1 Peter 1:18-19 (KJV):
"Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;
But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot."
This passage speaks to the redemptive power of Jesus' sacrifice, which aligns with the hymn's theme of the glorious message of salvation through Jesus Christ.
