Thy Hand O God Has Guided

Thy Hand, O God has guided Thy flock, from age to age; The wondrous tale is written, Full clear on every page. Our fathers owned Thy goodness, And we their deeds record; And both of this bear witness:One Church, one Faith, one Lord.

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.

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.

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, by men and angels, Thy name shall be adored, And this shall be their anthem:One Church, one Faith, one Lord.
