Author: Dan Damon Meter: 6.7.6.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 1:15-23 Lyrics: 1 Eternal Christ, you rule
keeping company with pain;
enduring ridicule,
rejected, still you reign.
2 Eternal Christ, you rule
speaking pardon from the cross;
forgiving pounded nails;
death did its worst and lost.
3 Eternal Christ, you rule
taking children by the hand;
the proud return to school;
the meek receive the land.
4 Eternal Christ, you rule
fasting forty days alone;
the tempter played the fool,
expecting bread from stone.
5 Eternal Christ, you rule
keeping company with pain;
with love and truth as tools,
come build in us your reign. Topics: Jesus Christ Love of; Jesus Christ Sovereignty and Reign; Reign of Christ; Year A Proper 15; Year A Reign of Christ; Year B Reign of Christ; Year C Reign of Christ Used With Tune: THROCKMORTON
