God of Grace and God of Glory

Author: Harry E. Fosdick Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.7 Appears in 157 hymnals Topics: Spirits, Evil; Evil Spirits Lyrics: 1 God of grace and God of glory, on your people pour your power; crown your ancient Church’s story, bring its bud to glorious flower. 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 your 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 Heal your children’s warring madness, bend our pride to your control; shame our wanton, selfish gladness, rich in things and poor in soul. Grant us wisdom, grant us courage lest we miss your kingdom’s goal, lest we miss your kingdom’s goal. 4 Save us from weak resignation to the evils we deplore; let the gift of your salvation be our glory evermore. Grant us wisdom, grant us courage, serving you whom we adore, serving you whom we adore. Scripture: Esther 4:14 Used With Tune: CWM RHONDDA

To Us All, to Every Nation

Author: James Russell Lowell; W. Garrett Horder Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 206 hymnals Topics: Evil Lyrics: 1 To us all, to every nation comes the moment to decide, in the strife of truth with falsehood, for the good or evil side; some great cause, God's new endeavor, offering each the bloom or blight, and the choice goes by forever; 'twixt that darkness and that light. 2 By the light of burning martyrs, Jesus' bleeding feet I track, toiling up new Calvaries ever with the cross that turns not back; new occasions teach new duties, time makes ancient good uncouth; they must upward still and onward, who would keep abreast of truth. 3 Though the cause of evil prosper, yet 'tis truth alone is strong, truth forever on the scaffold, wrong forever on the throne. Yet that scaffold sways the future, and, behind the dim unknown, God is standing in the shadow keeping watch beside God's own. Used With Tune: EBENEZER
