Thy Hand, O God, Has Guided

Words: Edward Plumptre · Music: Basil Harwood · 1889

Verse 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 fathers owned thy goodness,
and we their deeds record;
and both of this bear witness,
one church, one faith, one Lord.

Verse 2
Thy heralds brought glad tidings
to greatest, as to least;
they bade men rise, and hasten
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
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.
