Author: Frances R. Havergal, 1836-1879 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #14913 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D First Line: "This same Jesus!" Oh! how sweetly Refrain First Line: This same Jesus! this same Jesus! Lyrics: 1 "This same Jesus!" Oh! how sweetly
Fall those words upon the ear,
Like a swell of far off music,
In a night watch still and drear.
Refrain:
This same Jesus! this same Jesus!
Bless the Master’s changeless name;
Yesterday, today, forever,
Jesus Christ is still the same.
2 He who healed he hopeless leper,
He who dried the widow’s tear;
He who changed to health and gladness,
Helpless suffering, trembling fear; [Refrain]
3 He who wandered, poor and homeless,
By the stormy Galilee;
He who on the night-robed mountain
Bent in prayer the wearied knee; [Refrain]
4 He who spoke as none had spoken,
Angel wisdom far above,
All-forgiving, ne’er upbraiding,
Full of tenderness and love. [Refrain]
5 He who gently called the weary
Come, and I will give you rest!
He who loved the little children,
Took them in His arms and blest; [Refrain]
6 He, the lonely Man of Sorrows,
’Neath our sin-curse bending low;
By His faithless friends forsaken
In the darkest hours of woe; [Refrain]
7 This same Jesus! When the vision
Of that last and awful day
Bursts upon the prostrate spirit,
Like a midnight lightning ray. [Refrain]
8 When, else dimly apprehended,
All its terrors seem revealed,
Trumpet-knell and fiery heavens,
And the books of of doom unsealed; [Refrain]
9 Then, we lift our hearts adoring
This same Jesus, loved and known,
Him, our own most gracious Savior,
Seated on the great white throne; [Refrain]
10 He Himself, and not another,
He for whom your heart-love yearned,
Through long years of twilight waiting,
To His ransomed ones returned! [Refrain]
11 For this word, O Lord, we bless Thee,
Bless our Master’s changeless name;
Yesterday, today, for ever,
Jesus Christ is still the same. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: FROSINONE
