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.
