250. God of Grace and God of Glory (Dios de gracia, Dios de gloria)

1 God of grace and God of glory,
On your people pour your pow'r;
Crown your ancient church’s story,
Bring its 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 our 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 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.

1 Dios de gracia, Dios de gloria,
danos presto tu poder;
a tu antigua iglesia adorna
con un nuevo florecer.
Danos luz y valentía
en la hora del deber,
en la hora del deber.

2 Hoy las fuerzas del maligno
nos acosan sin cesar;
de temor y duda, Cristo
puede el alma resguardar.
Danos luz y valentía
para nunca desmayar,
para nunca desmayar.

3 Nuestros odios inhumanos
cura con tu inmenso amor;
líbranos de goces vanos,
sin conciencia o sin valor.
Danos luz y valentía
frente a toda tentación,
frente a toda tentación.

4 Líbranos de resignarnos,
imparciales, frente al mal;
sea nuestro anhelo santo
reflejar tu eterno ideal.
Danos luz y valentía
para hacer tu voluntad,
para hacer tu voluntad.
