Jesus Stood on the Shore

Jesus stood on the shore

When the morn­ing came

Appearing to His friends once more;

The be­lov­èd dis­ci­ple knew the Lord

Who loved him as in days of yore.

Jesus stands on the shore to­day

Helping strug­gling souls by the way;

On the land

or wave

Je­sus waits to save

He nev­er turns a soul away.

Jesus stood by the way

When the beg­gar blind

For mer­cy cried thro’ na­ture’s night;

As he cast down his gar­ments at His feet

By faith he there re­ceived his sight.

Jesus stood by the grave

Of the friend He loved

And showed His re­sur­rect­ion pow­er;

Quickly gave the com­mand

Come forth

come forth

Unloose

and let him go this hour.

Jesus stand­eth to­day at the mer­cy-seat

Our ad­vo­cate with God ab­ove;

Shows His nail piercèd hands

And plead­ing stands

Unchanging in His won­drous love.
