Yesterday Today Forever
Backgrounder: Albert Simpson
was born on Prince Edward
Island, Canada. In 1864,he began
a successful pastoral ministry
at Knox Presbyterian Church,
in Hamilton, Ontario. He was
an eloquent preacher and able
leader, and during his eight years
there, God used him to add 750
new members to the church.
Albert Simpson’s keen interest in
world missions, led him to found
the Christian & Missionary Alliance
denomination. And although he
had no formal musical training,
Ps Simpson had a keen sense of
melody and wrote many hymns,
including Yesterday Today Forever,
which was inspired by Hebrews 13.
Lord, we put our Trust in You:
He Himself has said: “I will
Never leave you nor forsake you.”
So, we may boldly say:
“The Lord is my Helper, I will not
fear. What can man do to me?”
Jesus is the Same yesterday,
today and forever (Heb 13:5-8).
Lord, although life is faced with
uncertainty and challenges,
we thank you that you are
our Helper and that you will
never leave us nor forsake us.
And that all things work for the
Good for those who love God.
So, though there are times
in life where what we hope for
do not come to us yet, we will
continue to have faith in God and
move on bravely thro the journey.
Lord, Your unchangeable nature
is an assurance that Your Word
is faithful; and none of the many
precious promises contained in
the Word of God can ever fail.
For Your many precious promises
that are ‘yes’ & ‘amen’ in Christ.
U are holding me up & continue to
do so by Yr righteous right hand.
And Lord on those days when
we prove faithless, You in Your
grace will remain faithful & true.
For U cannot deny Yr holy name.
Thank You that Your goodness
and grace to us is unchangeable.
Thank you that You are the same
yesterday, today & forever! Amen
Oh, how sweet the glorious
message simple faith may claim:
Yesterday, today, forever,
Jesus is the same;
Still He loves to save the sinful,
heal the sick and lame,
Cheer the mourner, still the
tempest—glory to His name!
Refrain:
Yesterday, today, forever,
Jesus is the same,
All may change, but Jesus never
—glory to His name!
Glory to His name! Glory to
His name!
All may change, but Jesus never
—glory to His name!
Oft on earth He healed the
suff’rer by His mighty hand:
Still our sicknesses and sorrows
go at His command;
He who gave His healing virtue
to a woman’s touch
To the faith that claims His
fullness still will give as much.
Prayers for You
