607 - God of Grace and God of Glory
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 host of evil round us
Scorn
Thy Christ, as sail His ways;
From
the fears that long have bound us
Free
the hearts to faith and praise.
Grant
us wisdom, grant us courage,
For
the facing of this hour.
3
Cure
Thy children’s warning madness,
Bend
our pride to Thy control;
Shame
our wanton, selfish gladness
Rich
on goods and poor in soul.
Grant
us wisdom, grant us courage,
Least
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.
