Author: Harry Emerson Fosdick Hymnal: CEL1997 #435 (1997) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.7 Lyrics: 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 the 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.
3 Cure Thy children’s warring madness;
Bend our pride to Thy control.
Shame our wanton, selfish gladness,
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.
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 men free.
Grant us wisdom; grant us courage
That we fail not man nor Thee,
That we fail not man nor Thee. Topics: The Living Church Renewal and Revival Languages: English Tune Title: CWM RHONDDA
