607   God of Grace and God of Glory




[1]
God of grace and God of glory
On Thy people pour Thy power;
Now fulfill Thy church s story
Bring her bud to glorious flower.
Grant us wisdom grant us courage
For the facing of this hour.

[2]
Lo the hosts of evil round us
Scorn Thy Christ assail His ways;
From the fears that long have bound us
Free our hearts to faith and praise.
Grant us wisdom grant us courage
For the facing of this hour.

[3]
Cure Thy children s warring madness
Bend our pride to Thy control;
Shame our wanton selfish gladness
Rich in goods and poor in soul.
Grant us wisdom grant us courage
Lest we miss Thy kingdom s goal.

[4]
Set our feet on lofty places
Gird our lives that they may be
Armored with all Christ like graces
In the fight to set all free.
Grant us wisdom grant us courage
That we fail not man nor Thee.
