Your hand, O God, has guided
Author: Edward Hayes Plumptre (1821-1891) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7 with refrain Appears in 55 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 77:20 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 owned your goodness,
and we their deeds record:
and both of this bear witness:
one Church, one Faith, one Lord.
2 Your heralds brought glad tidings
to greatest as to least;
they summoned all to hasten
and 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, life 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;
by mortals and by angels
your name shall be adored,
and this shall be our anthem:
one Church, one Faith, one Lord. Topics: Life in Christ Our Response to Christ - In Discipleship; Church Ministry; Church unity and ecumenism; Salvation and Redemption; Witness Used With Tune: THORNBURY

Thy way is in the sea
Author: Fawcett Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 22 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 77:19 Lyrics: 1 Thy way is in the sea;
Thy paths we can not trace;
Nor solve, O Lord, the mystery
Of thy unbounded grace.

Our captive souls surround;
Mysterious deeps of providence
Our wandering thoughts confound.

The wonders of thy love;
How little do we know of thee,
Or of the joys above!

leads forth in beauty all the starry band
of shining worlds in splendor through the skies,
our grateful songs before thy throne arise.

In this free land by thee our lot is cast.
Be thou our ruler, guardian, guide, and stay:
thy word our law, thy paths our chosen way.

be thy strong arm our ever sure defense.
Thy true religion in our hearts increase.
Thy bounteous goodness nourish us in peace.

Lead us from night to never-ending day.
Fill all our lives with love and grace divine,
and glory, laud, and praise be ever thine.

Wise men, they came to look for wisdom
Author: Christopher Martin Idle (b. 1938) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Appears in 8 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 77:6 Lyrics: 1 Wise men, they came to look for wisdom,
finding one wiser than they knew;
rich men, they met with one yet richer--
King of the kings, they knelt to you:
Jesus, our wisdom from above,
wealth and redemption, life and love.
2 Pilgrims they were, from unknown countries,
searching for one who knows the world;
lost are their names, and strange their journeys,
famed is their zeal to find the child:
Jesus, in you the lost are claimed,
aliens are found and known and named.
3 Magi, they stooped to see your splendor,
led by a star to light supreme;
promised Messiah, Lord eternal,
glory and peace are in your name:
Joy of each day, our song by night,
shine on our path your holy light.
4 Guests of their God, they opened treasures,
incense and gold and solemn myrrh;
welcoming one too young to question
how came these gifts, and what they were:
Gift beyond price of gold or gem,
make among us your Bethlehem. Topics: Life in Christ Christ Incarnate - Christmas and Epiphany; Christian Year Season of Epiphany Used With Tune: NEUMARK

Lord, you sometimes speak in wonders
Author: Christopher Martin Idle (b. 1938) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 6 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 77:14 Lyrics: 1 Lord, you sometimes speak in wonders,
unmistakable and clear,
mighty signs to prove your presence,
overcoming doubt and fear.
2 Lord, you sometimes speak in whispers,
still and small and scarcely heard;
only those who want to listen
catch the all-important word.
3 Lord, you sometimes speak in silence,
through our loud and noisy day:
we can know and trust you better
when we quietly wait and pray.
4 Lord, you often speak in Scripture,
words that summon from the page,
shown and taught us by your Spirit
with fresh light for every age.
5 Lord, you always speak in Jesus,
always new yet still the same:
teach us now more of our Saviour,
make our lives display his Name. Topics: The Holy Spirit in the Church Illumination of God's Word; Jesus incarnation; Scripture; Word of God Used With Tune: STUTTGART
