Your hand, O God, has guided

Author: Edward Hayes Plumptre, 1821-91 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 61 hymnals Topics: Pilgrimage 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.

Awake, my soul! lift up thine eyes

Author: Anna L. Barbauld Appears in 152 hymnals Topics: The Christian Warfare and Pilgrimage Lyrics: 1 Awake, my soul! lift up thine eyes; See where thy foes against thee rise, In long array, a numerous host; Awake, my soul! or thou art lost. 2 See where rebellious passions rage, And fierce desires and lusts engage; The meanest foe of all the train Has thousands and ten thousands slain. 3 Thou treadest on enchanted ground; Perils and snares beset thee round; Beware of all, guard every part But most the traitor in thy heart. 4 The terror and the charm repel, The powers of earth, and powers of hell; The Man of Calvary triumphed here; Why should his faithful followers fear? 5 Come then, my soul! now learn to wield The weight of thine immortal shield; Put on the armor, from above, Of heavenly truth and heavenly love. Used With Tune: CRASSELIUS

When earthly joys depart, teach me thy way! In hours of loneliness, in times of dire distress, in failure or success, teach me thy way! 3 When doubts and fears arise, teach me thy way! When storms o'erspread the skies, teach me thy way! Shine thro' the cloud and rain, thro' sorrow, toil, and pain; make thou my pathway plain; teach me thy way! 4 Long as my life shall last, teach me thy way! Where’er my lot be cast, teach me thy way! Until the race is run, until the journey’s done, until the crown is won, teach me thy way! Scripture: Psalm 27:11 Used With Tune: CAMACHA
