Author: Daniel Charles Damon Hymnal: Voices United #212 (1996) Meter: 6.7.6.6 Hymnal Title: Voices United 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 along;
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.
