our failures and our fears; eternal Lord, the king of all the ages
unchanging still amid the passing years;
O living Word, the source of all creation,
who spread the skies and set the stars ablaze;
O Christ the same, who wrought our whole salvation,
we bring our thanks for all our yesterdays.
O Christ the same, the friend of sinners, sharing
our inmost thoughts, the secrets none can hide;
still as of old upon our body bearing
the marks of love in triumph glorified:
O Son of Man, who stooped for us from heaven -
O Prince of life, in all your saving power;
O Christ the same, to whom our hearts are given;
we bring our thanks for this the present hour.
The tune is Londonderry Air (Danny Boy)
