Your hand, O God, has guided
Author: E. H. Plumptre (1821-1891) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 57 hymnals Topics: Pentecost 2 The People of God; Pentecost 2 The Church's Unity and Fellowship Lyrics: 1 Your hand, O God, has guided
your flock, from age to age;
the faithfulness is written
on history's every page.
They knew your perfect goodness,
whose deeds we now record;
and both to this bear witness:
one church, one faith, one Lord.
2 Your heralds brought the gospel
to greatest as to least;
they summoned all to hasten
and share the great king's feast.
And this was all their teaching
in every deed and word;
to all alike proclaiming:
one church, one faith, one Lord.
3 Through many days of darkness,
through many scenes of strife,
the faithful few fought bravely
to guard the nation's life.
Their gospel of redemption —
sin pardoned, life restored —
was all in this enfolded:
one church, one faith, one Lord.
4 And we, shall we be faithless?
shall hearts fail, hands hang down?
shall we evade the conflict
and throw away the crown?
Not so! In God's deep counsels
some better thing is stored;
we will maintain, unflinching,
one church, one faith, one Lord.
5 Your mercy will not fail us
nor leave your work undone;
with your right hand to help us,
the victory shall be won.
And then by earth and heaven
your name shall be adored;
and this shall be their anthem:
one church, one faith, one Lord. Scripture: Ephesians 4:4-5 Used With Tune: THORNBURY

star of our night, and hope of every nation:
hear and receive your church's supplication,
Lord God almighty!
2 See round your church the angry tides are swirling,
see how your foes their banners are unfurling;
Lord, while their darts envenomed they are hurling,
you can preserve us.
3 Lord, you can help when earthly armour fails us,
Lord, you can save when deadly sin assails us:
Lord, when at last that solemn trumpet hails us,
keep and protect us!
4 Grant us your help till foes are backward driven,
grant them your truth, that they may be forgiven;
grant peace on earth and, after we have striven,
peace in your heaven. Used With Tune: CLOISTERS

I Worship You, O LORD
Author: James E. Seddon; Calvin Seerveld Meter: 6.6.6.6.6.6 Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Year B, Ordinary Time after Pentecost, June 26-July 2 Lyrics: 1 I worship you, O LORD,
for you have raised me up;
I cried to you for help,
and you restored my life.
You brought me back from death
and saved me from the grave.
2 Sing praises to the LORD,
all those who know his name;
for while his wrath is brief,
his favor knows no end.
Though tears flow for a night,
the morning brings new joy.
3 I said, "I am so strong,
I never shall be moved";
but you, LORD, shook my life--
my heart was in distress.
I cried out for your help
and pleaded for your grace:
4 "What good am I when dead,
while lying in the grave?
Can dust recount your love,
the grave proclaim your praise?
O hear me, gracious LORD,
in mercy be my aid!"
5 My mourning you have turned
to dancing and to joy;
my sadness you dispelled
as gladness filled my soul.
And so I'll sing your praise,
my God, through all my days. Scripture: Psalm 30 Used With Tune: BISHOP TUCKER
