Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith, 1926- Hymnal: Together in Song #254 (1999) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O changeless Christ, for ever new, who walked our earthly ways, still draw our hearts as once you drew the hearts of other days. 2 As once you spoke by plain and hill or taught by shore and sea, so be today our teacher still, O Christ of Galilee. 3 As wind and storm their Master heard and his command fulfilled, may troubled hearts receive your word, the tempest-tossed be stilled. 4 And as of old to all who prayed your healing hand was shown, so be your touch upon us laid, unseen but not unknown. 5 In broken bread, in wine outpoured, your new and living way proclaim to us, O risen Lord, O Christ of this our day. 6 O changeless Christ, till life is past your blessing still be given; then bring us home, to taste at last the timeless joys of heaven.
