Your hand, O God, has guided
Author: Edward Hayes Plumptre, 1821-91 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 57 hymnals Topics: National Life Lyrics: 1 Your hand, O God, has guided
your flock from age to age;
the wondrous tale is written
full clear, on every page.
your people owed your goodness,
and we their deeds accord;
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 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, earth restored,
was all in this enfolded:
one church, one faith, one Lord.
4 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 all creation
your name shall be adored,
and this shall be our anthem:
one church, one faith, one Lord. Scripture: Ephesians 4:1-6 Used With Tune: THORNBURY
Your hand, O God, has guided
The Lord is near! with Sinai tread
Author: Alexander Clark Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: The Christian Nation Fast-Day; Sudden National Calamity Lyrics: 1 The Lord is near! with Sinai trend
He comes to earth again;
From sudden darkness overhead,
A tongue of lightning, clear and dread,
Enough to wake the dusty dead,
Proclaims God's will to men.
2 Oh, bleeding country, now arise,
And call upon the Lord;
Thy broken heart and tearful eyes
Win pity on thee from the skies,
Through Christ, the world's slain sacrifice,
Who saves thee by his word.
3 Thou God of nations, hear our prayer;
We lift our thoughts to thee;
Our sinful nation's life, oh spare!
And may our grief thy grace declare,
By every Christly cross we bear
To bless and make men free.
The Lord is near! with Sinai tread

Shall fill the Remnant of my Days;
Thy Grace employ my humble Tongue
Till Death and Glory raise the Song.
2 The Wings of ev'ry Hour shall bear
Some thankful Tribute to thine Ear;
And ev'ry setting Sun shall see
New Works of Duty done for Thee.
3 Thy Truth and Justice I'll proclaim;
Thy Bounty flows, an endless Stream;
Thy Mercy swift, thine Anger slow,
But dreadful to the stubborn Foe.
4 Thy Works with sov'reign Glory shine,
And speak thy Majesty divine;
Let Britain round her Shores proclaim
The Sound and Honour of thy Name.
5 Let distant Times and Nations raise
The long Succession of thy Praise,
And unborn Ages make my Song
The Joy and Labour of their Tongue.
6 But who can speak thy wond'rous Deeds,
Thy greatness all our Thoughts exceeds;
Vast and unsearchable thy Ways,
Vast and immortal be thy Praise. Scripture: Psalm 144
My GOD, my King, thy various Praise
O Day of Peace
Author: Carl P. Daw Jr., b. 1944 Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Appears in 22 hymnals Topics: Nation First Line: O day of peace that dimly shines Lyrics: 1 O day of peace that dimly shines
through all our hopes and prayers and dreams,
guide us to justice, truth, and love,
delivered from our selfish schemes.
May swords of hate fall from our hands,
our hearts from envy find release,
till by God's grace our warring world
shall see Christ's promised reign of peace.
2 Then shall the wolf dwell with the lamb,
nor shall the fierce devour the small;
as beasts and cattle calmly graze,
a little child shall lead them all.
Then enemies shall learn to love,
all creatures find their true accord;
the hope of peace shall be fulfilled,
for all the earth shall know the Lord. Used With Tune: JERUSALEM

To praise the ever-bounteous Lord
Author: Needham Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 100 hymnals Topics: The Christian Nation Thanksgiving Lyrics: 1 To praise the ever-bounteous Lord,
My soul, wake all thy powers:
He calls--and at his voice came forth
The smiling harvest hours.
2 His covenant with the earth he keeps:
My tongue, his goodness sing:
Summer and winter know their time,
The harvest crowns the spring.
3 Well please the husbandmen behold
The waving, yellow crop;
With joy they bear the sheaves away,
And sow again in hope.
4 Thus teach me, gracious God, to sow
The seeds of righteousness;
Smile on my soul, and with thy beams
The ripening harvest bless.
To praise the ever-bounteous Lord
Why, O God! thy people spurn?
Author: Hatfield Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 24 hymnals Topics: The Christian Nation Fast-Day Lyrics: 1 Why, O God! thy people spurn?
Why permit thy wrath to burn?
God of mercy! turn once more;
All our broken hearts restore.
2 Thou has made our land to quake,
Heal the sorrows thou didst make;
Bitter is the cup we drink,
Suffer not our souls to sink.
3 Be thy banner now unfurled,
Show thy truth to all the world;
Save us, Lord, we cry to thee,
Lift thine arm--thy chosen free.
4 Give us now relief from pain--
Humain aid is all in vain:
We, through God, shall yet prevail,
He will help when foes assail.
5 Sing we to our God above
Praise eternal as his love;
Praise him, all ye heavenly host--
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost--
Why, O God! thy people spurn?
