A hymn written by Joseph Irons in Zion's Hymns. (in common meter)

Hebrews 8:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

"Jesus Christ the Same Yesterday, Today, and Forever"

1. Ere time began, my Saviour stood
Responsible for me ---
The same when call'd to shed His blood,
Upon th' accursed tree.

2. My everlasting cov'nant Head,
Who was, and is the same,
Before all time - when time has fled ---
All glory to His name.

3. My Head and Husband, when I lay
Deep sunk in guilt and shame ---
He changes not through endless day,
For ever He's the same.

4. On me He set eternal love ----
For me He shed His blood ---
In me by grace - for me above,
He is th' unchanging God.
