#249Tis Shining Still

I heard a sweet sto-ry of Je-sus of old, How He walked by the sea, Where the wa-ters were blue, How He gath-ered dis-ci-ples a-round Him so dear, And He taught them the way to the king-dom so true.

They knelt by the wa-ter's cool side, As they heard the glad mes-sage He brought them that day, They fol-lowed His foot-steps which shone like a far- He told them the won-der-ful Word, By the side of the Lil-y-crowned shore where they stood, And of Him on the earth here be-low.

The cross where my Sav-ior was cru-ci-fied, Still stands, and the prom-ise is giv-en still true, That He will save all who will trust in His name, And His love and His mer-cy to all He'll re-new.
