And both of this bear wit-ness, One Church,one Faith,one Lord. A-MEN.
Alternative Tune, ALL HALLOWS, No. 396.
mf 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
ƒ One Church, one Faith, one LORD. mf 8 And we, shall we be faithless?
Shall hearts fail, hands hang down?
Shall we evade the conflict,
And cast away our crown?
cres Not so: in GoD's deep counsels Some better thing is stored; We will maintain, unflinching, f One Church, one Faith, one LORD. mf 4 Thy mercy will not fail us,
Nor leave Thy work undone ; cres 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, f One Church, one Faith, one LORD. E. H. Plumptre
mf 3 Men of God the call is sounding,
Heed it ye to whom Christ came,
Men of God, with grace abounding,
Speed the Cross in Jesus' Name.
Wave on high its blazing banner,
Hold it with unfaltering hand
And with glad and high hosanna
Plant the Cross in every land.
4 Rise, ye women, 'tis the Master
Bids you rise from couch of ease;
Speed His message, speed it faster,
Over heathen lands and seas;
Let the King's all-glorious daughter,
Robed in raiment wrought in gold,[her
Tell how Christ has died and brought
Safe and saved within His fold.
5 Bare Thine arm, Jehovah, bare it,
Gird Thy sword upon Thy thigh,
Speak until the nations hear it,
Man's redemption draweth nigh.
See the Son of God, Most Glorious,
Shields them with His Word of flame,
Comes to them with hosts victorious
Calling on His Holy Name.
f6 Great Jehovah! God of Glory,
Lo, the isles await Thy grace,
Nations, newly-born, are waiting
For the shining of Thy face;
Let the song of every nation,
Song of Songs which men shall raise,
Be of Christ the world's Salvation,
Christ Whom all the world shall praise!
