Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith (born 1926) Hymnal: Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) #256 (1987) 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 or hopes,
the end of 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 thing and are;
to shine upon our spirits' sight
as light of everlasting light —
the bright and morning star. Topics: God's World Years and Seasons; Pentecost 18 The Offering of Life Languages: English Tune Title: GATESCARTH
Christ be the Lord of all our days
