9082. Spirit Of Wisdom And Power

1 Spirit of wisdom and power,
Protect us in this hour,
Of dreadful strife;
When scoffing lips surround
And righteousness confound,
When fear and hate abound,
Be our strong tower.

2 Darkness advances apace:
See, boldly sin is praised
And good reviled;
O give us hearts to fight
For holiness and right,
Enabled by Your might,
Wisdom and grace.

3 Protect our children from ill,
Be their defender still,
Give them Your light;
Immerse them in Your Word,
From them may truth be heard,
Let them Your Spirit gird
To do Your will.
