BLUE HYMNAL SIMPSON ORIGINAL (Choral Symphony) "Yesterday Today Forever"

Описание: The 1897 edition of “Hymns of the Christian Life” includes a Preface that begins with the following words: “The musical taste of our day is in a state of transition… the people WILL have new tunes and hymns that move in a more spirited time than those which our fathers sang.”

These observations were true then and remain relevant today. The hymns of A. B. Simpson have been bringing the message of Christ as Savior, Sanctifier, Healer, and Coming King into the pews of Alliance churches for well over 130 years. Among the most enduring of hymnals is the 1936 edition, commonly referred to as “The Blue Hymnal,” which many Alliance churches used well into the 1970s.

However, with the rising use of audio-visual technology in most Alliance churches, the hymnal has nearly disappeared, seemingly taking Simpson's hymns along with it. The BLUE HYMNAL SIMPSON series represents an effort to faithfully place Simpson’s lyrics into the “new tunes” of our day, allowing the heart and passion of Simpson to be expressed through music once again.

Glory to His Name!

YESTERDAY TODAY FOREVER

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!

He who was the friend of sinners seeks the lost one now:
Sinner, come, and at His footstool penitently bow;
He who said, “I’ll not condemn you, go and sin no more,”
Speaks to you that word of pardon as in days before.

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!

Here on earth He healed the suffering 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.

As He walked once to Emmaus, with them to abide,
So through all life’s way He’s walking ever near our side;
Soon again we shall behold Him hasten, Lord, the day
It will still be this same Jesus as He went away.

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!

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!
