A bitter cup Thou givest us Of misery and dread. 4 A glorious banner Thou hast giv'n To those who fear Thy Name, A banner to display abroad, And thus the truth proclaim. 5 That Thy beloved may be saved And from their foes set free, Help with the might of Thy right hand, In mercy answer me. 6 God in His holiness hath said: I will triumphant be, All heathen lands I claim as Mine, And they shall bow to Me. 7 Now, therefore, who will lead us on Sin's strongholds to possess? No longer cast us off, O God, But give our hosts success. 8 Give Thou Thy help against the foe, For help of man is vain; Through God we shall do valiantly, The victory He shall gain.

Thy hand, O God, has guided

Author: Edward Hayes Plumptre, 1821 - 91 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #159 (1958) Topics: The Church The People of God Lyrics: 1 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. 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 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, man restored, Was all in this enfolded, One Church, one Faith, one Lord. 4 And we, shall we be faithless? Shall hearts fail, hands hang down? Shall we evade the conflict, And cast away our crown? Not so; in God’s deep counsels Some better thing is stored; We will maintain, unflinching, One Church, one Faith, one Lord. 5 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.
