Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith (b. 1926) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #607 (2013) Meter: 8.6.8.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Christ be the Lord of all our days,
the swiftly passing years:
Lord of our unremembered birth,
heirs to the brightness of the earth;
Lord of our griefs and fears.
2 Christ be the source of all our deeds,
the life our living shares;
the fount which flows from worlds above
to never-failing springs of love;
the ground of all our prayers.
3 Christ be the goal of all our hopes,
the end to whom we come;
guide of each pilgrim Christian soul
which seeks, as compass seeks the pole,
our many-mansioned home.
4 Christ be the vision of our lives,
of all we think and are;
to shine upon our spirits' sight
as light of everlasting light,
the bright and morning star. Topics: Commitment; Discipleship; Future hope; Jesus Names and images for; Other Saints and Festivals New Year; Pilgrimage; Proper 15 Year B; Proper 22 Year A; Proper 6 Year B; Stages of Life Scripture: John 14:6 Languages: English Tune Title: CLOTH FAIR
