Sin and death and hell shall never o'er us final triumph gain; God is love, so Love for ever o'er the universe must reign. Used With Tune: ABBOT'S LEIGH

Your hand, O God, has guided

Author: Edward Hayes Plumptre, 1821-1891 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 55 hymnals Topics: God Through the Years His Faithfulness Lyrics: 1 Your hand, O God, has guided Your flock, from age to age; Your faithfulness is written on history's open 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 us 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, hope 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 our anthem: one Church, one Faith, one Lord. Used With Tune: THORNBURY
