  Oh, how sweet the glo -- rious mes -- sage, Sim -- ple faith may claim;

  Still He loves to save the sin -- ful, Heal the sick and lame;
  Cheer the mourn -- er, still the tem -- pest; glo -- ry to His name.
  Yes -- ter -- day, to -- day, for -- ev -- er, Je -- sus is the same,
  All may change, but Je -- sus nev -- er! glo -- ry to His name.
  glo -- ry to His name, glo -- ry to His name;

  Speaks to thee that word of par -- don as in days of yore.

  Oft on earth He healed the suf -- f'rer By His might -- y hand;
