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. Used With Tune: WESTMINSTER
O Changeless Christ
Come, We That Love
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 1,824 hymnals Topics: Heaven(s)/Paradise First Line: Come, we that love the Lord Lyrics: 1 Come, we that love the Lord,
and let our joys be known,
join in a song with sweet accord,
and thus surround the throne.
2 Let those refuse to sing
who never knew our God;
but children of the heavenly King
may speak their joys abroad.
3 The hill of Zion yields
a thousand sacred sweets
before we reach the heavenly fields,
or walk the golden streets.
4 Then let our songs abound,
and every tear be dry;
we're marching through Emmanuel's ground,
to fairer worlds on high. Used With Tune: ST. THOMAS
Come, We That Love
Once in Royal David's City
Author: Cecil Frances Alexander Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 417 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. Used With Tune: IRBY
Once in Royal David's City
As With Gladness Men of Old
Author: William Chatterton Dix Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 647 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. Used With Tune: DIX
As With Gladness Men of Old

Author: Fanny J. Crosby Meter: 7.6.7.6 with refrain Appears in 715 hymnals Topics: Heaven(s)/Paradise Refrain First Line: In the cross, in the cross Lyrics: 1 Jesus, keep me near the cross;
there a precious fountain,
free to all, a healing stream,
flows from Calvary's mountain.

In the cross, in the cross,
be my glory ever,
till my raptured soul shall find
rest beyond the river.
2 Near the cross, a trembling soul,
love and mercy found me;
there the bright and morning star
sheds its beams around me. [Refrain]
3 Near the cross! O Lamb of God,
bring its scenes before me;
help me walk from day to day
with its shadow o'er me. [Refrain]
4 Near the cross I'll watch and wait,
hoping, trusting ever,
till I reach the golden strand
just beyond the river. [Refrain] Used With Tune: NEAR THE CROSS

Fairest Lord Jesus
Meter: 5.6.8.5.5.8 Appears in 594 hymnals Topics: Heaven(s)/Paradise First Line: Fairest Lord Jesus, ruler of all nature Lyrics: 1 Fairest Lord Jesus, ruler of all nature,
O thou of God to earth come down:
thee will I cherish, thee will I honour,
thou my soul's glory, joy, and crown.
2 Fair are the meadows, fairer still the woodlands,
robed in the blooming garb of spring;
Jesus is fairer, Jesus is purer,
who makes the woeful heart to sing.
3 Fair is the sunshine, Fairer still the moonlight,
and fair the twinkling, starry host;
Jesus shines brighter, Jesus shines purer
than all the angels heaven can boast.
4 All fairest beauty heavenly and earthly,
wondrously, Jesus, is found in thee;
none can be nearer, fairer or dearer
than thou, my Saviour, art to me. Used With Tune: CRUSADERS' HYMN (SCHÖNSTER HERR JESU) Text Sources: German, 1677; trans. Church Chorals and Choir Studies, 1850, alt.

O Worship the King
Author: Robert Grant Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 1,171 hymnals Topics: Heaven(s)/Paradise First Line: O worship the King, all glorious above Lyrics: 1 O worship the King all glorious above,
O gratefully sing God's power and God's love;
our Shield and Defender, the Ancient of Days,
pavilioned in splendour and girded with praise.
2 O tell of God's might! O sing of God's grace,
whose robe is the light; whose canopy space;
whose chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form,
and broad is God's path on the wings of the storm.
3 The earth with its store of wonders untold,
Almighty, your power has founded of old;
has stablished it fast by a changeless decree,
and round it has cast, like a mantle, the sea.
4 Your bountiful care what tongue can recite?
It breathes in the air, it shines in the light;
it streams from the hills, it descends to the plain,
and sweetly distills in the dew and the rain.
5 Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail,
in you do we trust, nor find you to fail;
your mercies how tender, how firm to the end,
our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend. Used With Tune: HANOVER
O Worship the King
