God of Grace and God of Glory #360

God of grace and God of glory
 On Thy people pour Thy pow'r
 Crown Thine ancient church's story
 Bring her bud to glorious flow'r
 Grant us wisdom, grant us courage
 For the facing of this hour
 For the facing of this hour
 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 living of these days
 For the living of these days
 Cure Thy children's warring madness
 Bend our pride to Thy control
 Shame our wanton, selfish madness
 Rich in things and poor in soul
 Grant us wisdom, grant us courage
 Lest we miss Thy kingdom's goal
 Lest we miss Thy kingdom's goal
 Set our feet on lofty places
 Gird our lives that they may be
 Armored with all Christ-like graces
 In the fight to set men free
 Grant us wisdom, grant us courage
 That we fail not man nor Thee
 That we fail not man nor Thee
 Save us from weak resignation
 To the evils we deplore
 Let the search for Thy salvation
 Be our glory evermore
 Grant us wisdom, grant us courage
 Serving Thee whom we adore
 Serving Thee whom we adore
