Author: Edward H. Plumptre Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Gray) #509 (1987) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Hymnal Title: Psalter Hymnal (Gray) Refrain First Line: one church, one faith, one Lord Lyrics: 1 Your hand, O God, has guided
your flock from age to age;
your faithfulness is written
on history's open page.
Our parents knew your goodness,
and we their deeds record;
and both to this bear witness:
one church, one faith, one Lord!
2 Your heralds brought the gospel
to greatest and to least;
they summoned men and women
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 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 earth and heaven
your name shall be adored;
and this shall be our anthem:
one church, one faith, one Lord!
