About the Hymn

Lord, For The Years was written by Bishop Timothy Dudley-Smith in the later 20th century and set to Michael Baughen’s tune Lord Of The Years. Its five verses look back with thanks for God’s faithfulness and forward in trust, asking for His Word to shape the Church and society. The pairing of contemporary English text with a strong, singable tune has made it a mainstay of modern hymnals in the UK and beyond.

Often chosen for civic services, anniversaries, and moments of recommitment, the hymn’s petitions are both personal and corporate. It leads worshippers to thank God for the past, seek His cleansing in the present, and entrust the future to His care — a steady reminder that He is Lord of the years and worthy of our praise and obedience.
