Various (CMD 8.6.8.6 Settings)

The text "O Thou Eternal Christ of God" is commonly set to 8.6.8.6 D (CMD) tunes, including Percival‑Smith, Ladywell, and LLANGLOFFAN. These settings provide a strong, processional character that supports the hymn's Palm Sunday and mission themes. In many denominational hymnals, Calvin W. Laufer's text is paired with one of these well‑known CMD tunes rather than with a tune specifically named CHRISTUS.
