O Christ the same, through all our story’s pages

Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith (born 1926) Meter: 11.10.11.10 D Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Christ the same, through all our story's pages — our loves and hopes, our failures and our fears; eternal Lord, the king of all the ages, unchanging still amid the passing years: O living Word, the source of all creation, who spread the skies and set the stars ablaze, O Christ the same, who wrought our whole salvation, we bring our thanks for all our yesterdays. 2 O Christ the same, the friend of sinners, sharing our inmost thoughts, the secrets none can hide; still as of old upon your body bearing the marks of love, in triumph glorified: O Son of Man, who stooped for us from heaven — O Prince of life, in all your saving power; O Christ the same, to whom our hearts are given: we bring our thanks for this the present hour. 3 O Christ the same, secure within whose keeping our lives and loves, our days and years remain; our work and rest, our waking and our sleeping, our calm and storm, our pleasure and our pain: O Lord of love, for all our joys and sorrows, for all our hopes, when earth shall fade and flee; O Christ the same, beyond our brief tomorrows, we bring our thanks for all that is to be.
