Hymns for the Living Church ‎#466

466. God of Grace and God of Glory

1 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.

2 Lo! the hosts of evil round us
Scorn Thy Christ, assail His ways!
Fears and doubts too long have bound us,
Free our hearts to work and praise.
Grant us wisdom,
Grant us courage,
For the living of these days,
For the living of these days.

3 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!

Amen.
