O Christ the Same
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith, b. 1926 Meter: 11.10.11.10 D Appears in 9 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 13:8 First Line: O Christ the same, through all our story's pages Lyrics: 1 O Christ the same, through all our story's pages--
our loves and hopes, 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.
2 O Christ the same, the friend of sinners, sharing
our inmost thoughts, the secrets none can hide;
still as of old upon your 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.
3 O Christ the same, secure within whose keeping
our lives and loves, our days and years remain,
our work and rest, our waking and our sleeping,
our calm and storm, our pleasure and our pain:
O Lord of love, for all our joys and sorrows,
for all our hopes, when earth shall fade and flee,
O Christ the same, beyond our brief tomorrows,
we bring our thanks for all that is to be.

O Christ the Same
How sweet the Name of Jesus sounds
Author: John Newton (1725-1807) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,618 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 13:15 Lyrics: 1 How sweet the name of Jesus sounds
in a believer's ear!
It soothes our sorrows, heals our wounds,
and drives away his fear.
2 It makes the wounded spirit whole,
and calms the troubled breast;
'tis manna to the hungry soul,
and to the weary rest.
3 Dear name! the rock on which I build,
my shield and hiding place,
my never-failing treasury, filled
with boundless stores of grace.
4 Jesus, my Shepherd, Husband, Friend,
my Prophet, Priest, and King,
my Lord, my Life, my Way, my End,
accept the praise I bring.
5 Weak is the effort of my heart,
and cold my warmest thought;
but, when I see thee as thou art,
I'll praise thee as I ought.
6 Till then I would thy love proclaim
with every fleeting breath;
and may the music of thy name
refresh my soul in death. Topics: Christ Risen Reign and Priesthood; Our Response to Christ In Devotion; Devotion; Jesus Name; Jesus Names and images for Used With Tune: ST. PETER

And take th' alarm they give;

Did heavenly bliss forego;
For souls, which must forever live,
In raptures, or in woe.

Th' account to render there;
And should'st thou strictly mark our faults,
Lord, how should we appear!
5 May they, that Jesus whom they preach,
Their own Redeemer see,
And watch thou daily o'er their souls,
That they may watch for thee.

My Shepherd Will Supply My Need (Psalm 23)
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 234 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 13:6 First Line: My shepherd will supply my need Lyrics: 1 My shepherd will supply my need;
Jehovah is his name.
In pastures fresh he makes me feed,
beside the living stream.
He brings my wandering spirit back
when I forsake his ways,
and leads me, for his mercy's sake,
in paths of truth and grace.
2 When I walk through the shades of death
your presence is my stay;
one word of your supporting breath
drives all my fears away.
Your hand, in sight of all my foes,
does still my table spread;
my cup with blessings overflows;
your oil anoints my head.
3 The sure provisions of my God
attend me all my days;
O may your house be my abode,
and all my work be praise.
There would I find a settled rest,
while others go and come;
no more a stranger, or a guest,
but like a child at home.

I could not do without Thee
Author: Frances Ridley Havergal Appears in 185 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 13:5 Lyrics: 1 I could not do without Thee,
O Saviour of the lost,
Whose precious blood redeemed me
At such tremendous cost;
Thy righteousness, Thy pardon,
Thy sacrifice, must be
My only hope and comfort,
My glory and my plea.
2 I could not do without Thee,
O, the way is long;
And I am often weary,
And sigh replaces song;
How could I do without Thee?
I do not know the way;
Thou knowest, and Thou leadest,
And wilt not let me stray.
3 I could not do without Thee,
For years are fleeting fast,
And now in solemn silence
The river must be passed;
But Thou wilt never leave me,
And, tho' the waves roll high,
I know Thou wilt be near me,
And whisper, "It is I." Used With Tune: [I could not do without Thee]
