Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith (b. 1926) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #341 (2013) Meter: 6.6.8.4 D Scripture: Hebrews 13:8 Lyrics: 1 We turn to Christ anew
who hear his call today,
his way to walk, his will pursue,
his word obey.
To serve him as our King
and of his kingdom learn,
from sin and every evil thing
to him we turn.
2 We trust in Christ to save;
in him new life begins:
who by his cross a ransom gave
from all our sins.
Our spirits' strength and stay
who when all flesh is dust
will keep us on that final day,
in him we trust.
3 We would be true to him
till earthly journeys end,
whose love no passing years can dim,
our changeless friend.
May we who bear his name
our faith and love renew,
to follow Christ our single aim,
and find him true. Topics: Atonement; Christian Initiation; Commitment; Dedication of people; Discipleship; Other Saints and Festivals Matthew, Apostle and Evangelist; Pilgrimage; Renewal; Self-offering; Stages of Life; The Baptism of Christ Year B; Vocation Languages: English Tune Title: LEONI
