God of Grace and God of Glory

Author: Harry Emerson Fosdick Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 155 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God of grace and God of glory, on your people pour your power; now fulfil your church’s story; bring its bud to glorious flower. Grant us wisdom, grant us courage, for the facing of this hour. 2 Lo, the hosts of evil round us scorn your Christ, assail your 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. 3 Cure your children’s warring madness, bend our pride to your control; shame our wanton selfish gladness, rich in goods and poor in soul. Grant us wisdom, grant us courage, lest we miss your kingdom's goal. 4 Set our feet on lofty places; gird our lives that they may be armoured with all Christ-like graces, pledged to set all captives free. Grant us wisdom, grant us courage, that we fail not them nor thee.

Your Hand, O God, Has Guided

Author: Edward H. Plumptre Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 55 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Your hand, O God, has guided your flock from age to age; the wondrous tale is written, full clear, on every page. Our forebears owned your goodness, and we their deeds record; and both of this bear witness: one church, one faith, one Lord. 2 Your heralds brought glad tidings to greatest as to least; they bade them rise, and hasten to share the heavenly feast. And this was all their teaching, in every deed and word, to all alike proclaiming: one church, one faith, one Lord. 3 Through many days of darkness, through many scenes of strife, the faithful few fought bravely to guard your people's life. Their gospel of redemption, sin pardoned, earth restored, was all in this enfolded: one church, one faith, one Lord. 4 And we, shall we be faithless? Shall hearts fail, hands hang down? Shall we evade the conflict and cast away our crown? Not so: in God's deep counsels some better thing is stored; we will maintain, unflinching, one church, one faith, one Lord. 5 Your mercy will not fail us, nor leave your work undone; with your right hand to help us, the victory shall be won; and then, by earth and heaven, your name shall be adored, and this shall be our anthem: one church, one faith, one Lord.
