Found this song in my “Pentecostal Hymns: One and Two Combined,” © 1894 hymnal this morning. It was a blessing, so I thought I’d pass it on.
There are times when we grow weary
Of the burdens of the day,
When we long to have them lightened,
Or be lifted quite away.
Then a sweet voice seems to whisper,
“All the load upon me lay.
When on earth I bore men’s burdens –
I am just the same today!”
Chorus:
He is just the same to-day,
Yes, He’s just the same to-day,
Our blessed Lord and Saviour,
He is just the same to-day.
All our burdens and our sorrows
Will be lifted quite away,
If we only trust in Jesus,
For He’s just the same today.
Oh, the thought is full of comfort
To the heart that’s weary grown.
He who knew and bore men’s sorrows,
Leaves us not to walk alone.
His great heart is touched with pity,
And He wipes our tears away;
Oh, this Christ who wept with Mary –
He is just the same today!
Heart of mine, what are thy burdens
To the burden of the Cross?
Canst thou not be stronger braver? –
Better bear earth’s pain and loss?
Oh, remember and take courage,
He is never far away
Whom they called the friend of sinners –
He is just the same today!
