Lyrics

The friends we have trusted may turn us away,
The lips that have praised us may blame;
But there is one friend who will ne­ver be­tray,
For Je­sus is ever the same.

Refrain

Ever the same, ever the same,
Jesus is ever the same;
Ever the same, ever the same,
Yes, Je­sus is ever the same.

The hopes that we cherish may prove to be vain,
And perish the joys that we claim;
But there is a promise that still will re­main,
For Je­sus is ever the same.

Refrain

The beau­ti­ful morning a tempest may bring,
And lightnings about us may flame;
But, certain as winter is fol­lowed by spring,
The Sav­ior is ever the same.

Refrain

Then let us in gladness obey His com­mands,
His love and His goodness pro­claim;
The King of all kingdoms and Lord of all lands
Is ever and ever the same.
