TRIED, PRECIOUS, SURE, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Through the yesterday of ages
Last Line: "our own saviour, strong and ""sure!"
Subject(s): Jesus Christ


THROUGH the yesterday of ages,
Jesus, Thou hast been The Same;
Through our own life's checkered pages
Still the one dear changeless name.
Well may we in Thee confide,
Faithful Saviour, proved and "TRIED!"

Joyfully we stand and witness
Thou art still to-day The Same;
In Thy perfect, glorious fitness
Meeting every need and claim.
Chiefest of ten thousand Thou!
Saviour, O most "PRECIOUS," now!

Gazing down the far forever,
Brighter glows the one sweet Name,
Steadfast radiance, paling never,
Jesus, Jesus! still The Same.
Evermore "Thou shalt endure,"
Our own Saviour, strong and "SURE!"
