431. BABE OF BETHLEHEM


HAVE you ever heard the story,
Of the Babe of Bethlehem,
Who was worshipp'd by the angels
And the wise and holy men;
How He taught the learned doctors
In the temple far away?
Oh, I'm glad, so glad to tell you,
He is just the same to-day.

CHORUS

He is just… the same to-day…
He is just… the same to-day…
Seeking those who are astray,
Saving souls along the way;
Thank God, He is just the same to-day.

Have you ever heard the story,
How He walked upon the sea,
To His dear disciples tossing
On the waves of Galilee;
How the waves in angry motion
Quickly would His will obey?
Oh, I'm glad, so glad to tell you,
He is just the same to-day.

Have you ever heard of Jesus
Praying in Gethsemane,
And the ever-thrilling story
How He died upon the tree,
Cruel thorns His forehead piercing,
As His spirit passed away?
This He did for you, my brother,
And He's just the same to-day.
