Londonderry Air

PLEASE READ: I performed this piece with my Mom, not because of it's best known lyrics, "Oh, Danny Boy", but rather for the following hymn, "O Christ the Same."
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 to morrows we bring our thanks for all that is to be.

Feel free to sing along, if you feel so moved. :-)
