Thy hand, O God, has guided

Author: Edward Hayes Plumptre, 1821-1891 Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 58 hymnals Topics: Year A Proper 23 Lyrics: 1 Thy hand, O God, has guided thy flock, from age to age; the wondrous tale is written, full clear, on ev'ry page; our forebears owned thy goodness, and we their deeds record; and both of this bear witness: one Church, one Faith, one Lord. 2 Thy heralds brought glad tidings to greatest, as to least; they bade them rise, and hasten to 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 a day of darkness, through many a scene of strife, the faithful few fought bravely to guard the nation's life. Their gospel of redemption, sin pardoned, man 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 cast away our crown? Not so: in God's deep counsels some better thing is stored; we will maintain, unflinching, one Church, one Faith, one Lord. 5 Thy mercy will not fail us, nor leave thy work undone; with thy right hand to help us, the victory shall be won; and then be all creation, thy name shall be adored. And this shall be their anthem: One Church, one Faith, one Lord. Scripture: Ephesians 4:5 Used With Tune: THORNBURY

Lord, you give the great commission

Author: Jeffery W. Rowthorn (b. 1934) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 45 hymnals Topics: Proper 23 Year B Lyrics: 1 Lord, you give the great commission: 'Heal the sick and preach the word.' Lest the Church neglect its mission, and the gospel go unheard, help us witness to your purpose with renewed integrity; with the Spirit's gifts empower us for the work of ministry. 2 Lord, you call us to your service: 'In my name baptize and teach.' That the world may trust your promise, life abundant meant for each, give us all new fervour, draw us closer in community; with the Spirit's gifts empower us for the work of ministry. 3 Lord, you make the common holy: 'This my body, this my blood.' Let us all, for earth's true glory, daily lift life heavenward, asking that the world around us share your children's liberty; with the Spirit's gifts empower us for the work of ministry. 4 Lord, you show us love's true measure; 'Father, what they do, forgive.' Yet we hoard as private treasure all that you so freely give. May your care and mercy lead us to a just society; with the Spirit's gifts empower us for the work of ministry. 5 Lord, you bless with words assuring: 'I am with you to the end.' Faith and hope and love restoring, may we serve as you intend, and, amid the cares that claim us, hold in mind eternity; with the Spirit's gifts empower us for the work of ministry. Scripture: Matthew 28:18-20 Used With Tune: RUSTINGTON

All my hope on God is founded

Author: Robert Bridges, 1844-1930; Joachim Neander, 1650-1680 Meter: 8.7.8.7.3.3.7 Appears in 73 hymnals Topics: Year C Proper 23 Lyrics: 1 All my hope on God is founded; he doth still my trust renew. Me through change and chance he guideth, only good and only true. God unknown, he alone calls my heart to be his own. 2 Human pride and earthly glory, sword and crown betray his trust; what with care and toil he buildeth, tow'r and temple, fall to dust. But God's power, hour by hour, is my temple and my towe'r. 3 God's great goodness aye endureth, deep his wisdom, passing thought: splendour, light and life attend him, beauty springeth out of naught. Evermore, from his store new-born worlds rise and adore. 4 Still from earth to God eternal sacrifice of praise be done, high above all praises praising for the gift of Christ his Son. Christ doth call one and all: ye who follow shall not fall. Scripture: 1 Peter 1:21 Used With Tune: MICHAEL

Give Thanks, My Soul, For Harvest

Author: William Watkins Reid, Sr. Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 9 hymnals Topics: Proper 23 Year B First Line: Give thanks, my soul for harvest Lyrics: 1 Give thanks, my soul, for harvest, for store of fruit and grain; but know the owner gives so that we may share again. Where people suffer hunger, or little children cry, with gifts from God’s rich bounty may thankfulness reply. 2 Give thanks, my soul, for riches of woodland, mine, and hill; but know that gold and timber are the Creator's still. God lends to us, as stewards, abundance we might share, and thus provide earth's children the blessing of God's care. 3 Give thanks, my soul, for labours, that strength and days employ; but know the Maker's purpose brings toil as well as joy. Show forth, O God, your purpose; direct our will and hand to share your love and bounty with all in every land. Used With Tune: MUNICH
