Thy Hand, O God, Has Guided
E. H. Plumptre (1864) • English
Primary Scripture: Psalm 23
Verse 1
Your hand, O God, has guided your flock from age to age; your faithfulness is written on history's open page. Our fathers owned your goodness, and we their deeds record; and both to this bear witness: one church, one faith, one Lord!
Verse 2
Your heralds brought the gospel to greatest and the least; they summoned men and women to share the great King's feast. And this was all their teaching in ev'ry deed and word, to all alike proclaiming: one church, one faith, one Lord!
Verse 3
Your mercy will not fail us nor leave your work undone; with your right hand to help us the vict'ry 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!
