Your Hand, O God, Has Guided

Author: Edward H. Plumptre Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 55 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Your hand, O God, has guided your flock from age to age; the wondrous tale is written, full clear, on every page. Our forebears owned your goodness, and we their deeds record; and both of this bear witness: one church, one faith, one Lord. 2 Your heralds brought glad tidings to greatest as to least; they bade them rise, and hasten to share the heavenly 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 your people's life. Their gospel of redemption, sin pardoned, earth 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 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.

Through all the tumult and the strife, I hear the music ringing: It finds an echo in my soul -- how can I keep from singing? 2 What though my joys and comforts die? My Saviour still is living. What though the shadowss gather round? A new song Christ is giving. No storm can shake my inmost calm while to that Rock I'm clinging: since Love commands both heaven and earth, how can I keep from singing? 3 When tyrants tremble, sick with fear, and hear their death knells ringing: when friends rejoice both far and near, how can I keep from singing? In prison cell and dungeon vile our thoughts to them are winging: when friends by shame are undefiled, how can I keep from singing? 4 I lift my eyes; the cloud grows thin; I see the blue above it; and day by day this pathway smooths, since first I learned to love it. The peace of Christ makes fresh my heart, a fountain ever springing: all things are mine since I am Christ's -- how can I keep from singing?
