138:Have you ever heard the story
Tunes: | Gospel Bells, 219 |
Meter: | 7.6.7.6.D. Iambic |
HAVE you ever heard the story
Of the babe of Bethlehem,
Who was worshiped by the angels
And the wise and holy men?
How he taught the learnèd doctors
In the Temple far away?
O I?m glad, so glad to tell you,
He is just the same today!
2 Have you ever heard the story
How he walked upon the sea,
To his dear disciples tossing
On the waves of Galilee?
How the waves in angry motion
Quickly did his will obey?
O I?m glad, so glad to tell you,
He is just the same today!
3 Have you ever heard of Jesus
Praying in Gethsemane,
And the ever-thrilling story,
How he died upon the tree,
Cruel thorns his forehead piercing,
As his spirit passed away?
This he did for you, my brother,
And he?s just the same today!
4 Have you ever heard of Jesus
Who was buried in the tomb,
And was mourned by his disciples
In despair, defeat and gloom?
By the power of God eternal
He arose on Easter day,
And he lives for our salvation:
He is just the same today!
Chorus
Just the same, just the same,
He is just the same today.
Just the same, just the same,
He is just the same today.
Of the babe of Bethlehem,
Who was worshiped by the angels
And the wise and holy men?
How he taught the learnèd doctors
In the Temple far away?
O I?m glad, so glad to tell you,
He is just the same today!
2 Have you ever heard the story
How he walked upon the sea,
To his dear disciples tossing
On the waves of Galilee?
How the waves in angry motion
Quickly did his will obey?
O I?m glad, so glad to tell you,
He is just the same today!
3 Have you ever heard of Jesus
Praying in Gethsemane,
And the ever-thrilling story,
How he died upon the tree,
Cruel thorns his forehead piercing,
As his spirit passed away?
This he did for you, my brother,
And he?s just the same today!
4 Have you ever heard of Jesus
Who was buried in the tomb,
And was mourned by his disciples
In despair, defeat and gloom?
By the power of God eternal
He arose on Easter day,
And he lives for our salvation:
He is just the same today!
Chorus
Just the same, just the same,
He is just the same today.
Just the same, just the same,
He is just the same today.
