O Changeless Christ

Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Heaven(s)/Paradise First Line: O changeless Christ, for ever new Lyrics: 1 O changeless Christ, for ever new, who walked our earthly ways, still draw our hearts as once you drew the hearts of other days. 2 As once you spoke by plain and hill or taught by shore and sea, so be today our teacher still, O Christ of Galilee. 3 As wind and storm their master heard and his command fulfilled, may troubled hearts receive your word, the tempest-tossed be stilled. 4 And as of old who prayed your healing hand was shown, so be your touch upon us laid, unseen but not unknown. 5 In broken bread, in wine outpoured, your new and living way proclaim to us, O risen Lord, O Christ of this our day. 6 O changeless Christ, till life is past your blessing still be given; then bring us home, to taste at last the timeless joys of heaven.

Once in Royal David's City

Author: Cecil Frances Alexander Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 422 hymnals Topics: Heaven(s)/Paradise Lyrics: 1 Once in royal David's city stood a lowly cattle-shed, where a mother laid her baby in a manger for his bed. Mary was that mother mild, Jesus Christ her little child. 2 He came down to earth from heaven, who, with God is over all, and his shelter was a stable, and his cradle was a stall. There among the poor and lowly lived on earth our Saviour holy. 3 For he is our lifelong pattern; daily, when on earth he grew; he was tempted, scorned, rejected, tears and smiles like us he knew. Thus he feels for all our sadness, and he shares in all our gladness. 4 And our eyes at last shall see him, through his own redeeming love; for that child who seemed so helpless is our Lord in heaven above; and he leads his children on to the place where he is gone.

As With Gladness Men of Old

Author: William Chatterton Dix Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 654 hymnals Topics: Heaven(s)/Paradise Lyrics: 1 As with gladness men of old did the guiding star behold, as with joy they hailed its light, leading onward, beaming bright, so, most gracious Lord, may we evermore your splendour see. 2 As with joyful steps they sped, to that lowly manger bed, there to bend the knee before Christ, whom heaven and earth adore; so may we with eager pace ever seek your throne of grace. 3 As they offered gifts most rare at that manger rude and bare, so may we with holy joy, pure and free from sin's alloy, all our costliest treasures bring, Christ, to you, our heavenly King. 4 Holy Jesus, every day keep us in the narrow way; and, when earthly things are past, bring our ransomed lives at last where they need no star to guide, where no clouds your glory hide. 5 In the heavenly country bright none shall need created light; you its light, its joy, its crown, you its sun which goes not down; there forever may we sing hallelujah to our King.
