Words by Timothy Dudley-SmithMusic by Michael BaughenWritten 1967Tune LORD OF THE YEARS
Lord, for the years your love has kept and guided,
urged and inspired us, cheered us on our way,

Lord of the years, we bring our thanks today.
Story Behind the Song
Timothy Dudley-Smith wrote "Lord, for the Years" in 1967 for the centenary of Scripture Union, originally the Children's Special Service Mission. Michael Baughen composed the tune LORD OF THE YEARS for the text. The hymn became widely used in British churches for anniversaries, civic services, and occasions of national or congregational thanksgiving and rededication.
