Glad Tidings in Song ‎#21

21. He's Just the Same To-day

1 When Moses and his people
From Egypt’s land did flee,
Their enemies behind them,
And in front of them the sea;
God raised the waters like a wall,
And opened up the way,
And the God that lived in Moses’ times
Is just the same today!

Refrain:
He’s just the same today,
He’s just the same today,
And the God that lived in Moses’ times
Is just the same today!

2 When David and Goliath met—
The wrong against the right,—
The giant armed with human pow’r,
But David with God’s might;
God’s pow’r with David’s sling and stone
The giant low did lay,
And the God that lived in David’s times
Is just the same today! [Refrain]

3 When Jonah left his duty
And was swallowed by a whale,
The guilt and anguish that he bore
No human tongue can tell;
God helped him reach dry land again,
When willing to obey,
And the God that lived in Jonah’s times
Is just the same today! [Refrain]

4 When Daniel, faithful to his God,
Would not bow down to men,
And by God’s enemies was hurled
Into the lion’s den;
God shut the lion’s mouths, we read,
And robbed them of their prey,
And the God that lived in Daniel’s times
Is just the same today! [Refrain]

5 When Pentecost was fully come,
And fire from heav’n did fall,
Like a mighty wind, the Holy Ghost,
Baptized them one and all;
Three thousand were converted,
And chose the heav’nly way,
And the God that lived at Pentecost
Is just the same today! [Refrain]
