YOUR HAND, O GOD, HAS GUIDED
Your church from age to age;
The tale of love is written
For us on every page.
Our fathers knew Your goodness
And we Your works record;
And each of these bear witness:
One church, one faith, one Lord.
One church, one faith, one Lord of life,
One Father, one Spirit, one Christ.
One church, one faith, one Lord of life,
One heavenly King, Lord of all.
Your mercy never fails us
Or leaves 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;
With earth and heaven singing:
One church, one faith, one Lord.
E.H. Plumptre (1821-91)
