Edward Hayes Plumptre (1821-1891).

THY hand, God, has guidedThy 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 hear witness,One Church, one Faith, one Lord.
Thy heralds brought glad tidingsTo greatest, as to least;They bade men rise, and hastenTo share the great King's feast;And this was all their teaching,In every deed and word,To all alike proclaimingOne Church, one Faith, one Lord.
Through many a day of darkness,Through many a scene of strife,The faithful few fought bravelyTo guard the nation's life.Their Gospel of redemption,Sin pardoned, man restored,Was all in this enfolded,One Church, one Faith, one Lord.
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.
