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 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

Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 14 hymnals Topics: Unity and Fellowship Lyrics: 1 How lovely is your dwelling, O Lord of hosts, to me; my soul is longing, fainting, the courts of God to see. The beauty of your dwelling will bring me joy anew. My heart and flesh are crying, O living God, for you. 2 Beneath your care the sparrow finds place for peaceful rest; to keep her young in safety the swallow finds a nest. So, Lord, my King Almighty, your love will shelter me; beneath your wings of mercy my dwelling place will be. 3 Blest they who love and serve you, whose joy and strength you are. Forever they will praise you, your ways are in their heart. Though tried, their tears like showers shall fill the springs of peace, and all the way to Zion their strength shall still increase.
