God of Grace and God of Glory
Author: Harry Emerson Fosdick, 1878- Hymnal: WSCW1969 #778 (1969) Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.4.7.7 Lyrics: 1 God of grace and God of glory,
On thy people pour thy power;
Crown thine ancient church's story;
Bring her 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 thy 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.
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.
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.
5 Save us from weak resignation
To the evils we deplore;
Let the gift of thy salvation
Be our glory evermore.
Grant us wisdom,
Grant us courage,
Serving thee whom we adore.

We Lift Our Hearts, O Father
Author: Edward Ashurst Welch, 1860-1932 Hymnal: WSCW1969 #780 (1969) Meter: 7.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 We lift our hearts, O Father,
To thee our voices raise,
For these thy suppliant servants
in mingled prayer and praise:
2 Praise for the joy of loving,
All other joys above,
Praise for the priceless blessing
Of love's response to love;
3 Prayer that the glad surrender
Of self may perfect be,
That each be one with other,
An both be one in thee;
4 Prayer that thou wilt accomplish
The promise of today
And crown the years with blessing
That shall not pass away;
5 Praise for the hope most glorious
That looks beyond the veil,
Where faith and hope shall vanish,
But love shall never fail. Topics: The Church Marriage Tune Title: WE LIFT OUR HEARTS

Author: Walter C. Riess, 1925- Hymnal: WSCW1969 #781 (1969) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 O Lord of love, whose truth our lives adorn,
Whose breath and presence all our mornings bless,
Walk with us now into a joy newborn,
Walk with us now in all your holiness.
2 Lead us to love in truth, as you have done.
Fill our renewing lives with joy unfurled.
Revive our persons with your victor's song
And send us singing into your own world.
3 Now round your throne of grace be said our prayer!
Now round your streaming light be sung our praise!
O Savior, O Divine One lifted there,
Give us your rising love--our spirits raise! Topics: The Church Youth Tune Title: SURSUM CORDA

O God of Earth and Altar
Author: Gilbert Keith Chesterton, 1874-1936 Hymnal: WSCW1969 #784 (1969) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 O God of earth and altar,
Bow down and hear our cry,
Our earthly rulers falter,
Our people drift and die;
The walls of gold entomb us,
The swords of scorn divide,
Take not thy thunder from us,
But take away our pride.
2 From all that terror teaches,
From lies of tongue and pen,
From all the easy speeches
That comfort cruel men,
From sale and profanation
Of honor and the sword,
From sleep and from damnation,
Deliver us, good Lord!
3 Tie in a living tether
The prince and priest and thrall,*
Bind all our lives together,
Smite us and save us all;
In ire and exultation
Aflame with faith, and free,
Lift up a living nation,
A single sword to thee. Amen.

Lord of Our Life and God of Our Salvation

Star of our night and Hope of every nation,
Hear and receive thy Church's supplication,
Lord God Almighty.
2 See round thine ark the hungry billows curling;
See how thy foes their banners are unfurling;
Lord, while their darts envenomed they are hurling,
Thou canst preserve us.
3 Lord, thou canst help when earthly armor faileth,
Lord, thou canst save when deadly sin assaileth;
Christ, o'er thy Church nor death nor hell prevaileth;
Grant us thy peace, Lord.
4 Peace in our hearts, our evil thoughts assuaging;
Peace in thy Church, where brothers are engaging;
Peace, when the world its busy war is waging:
Calm thy foes' raging.
5 Grant us thy help till backward they are driven,
Grant them thy truth that they may be forgiven;
Grant peace on earth, and after we have striven,
Peace in thy heaven. Amen.
Amen. Topics: The Nation Peace Tune Title: ISTE CONFESSOR

Author: Henry Williams Baker, 1821-77 Hymnal: WSCW1969 #787 (1969) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O God of love, O King of peace,
Make wars throughout the world to cease;
The wrath of sinful man restrain;
Give peace, O God, give peace again.
2 Remember, Lord, your works of old,
The wonders that our fathers told,
Remember not our sins' dark stain;
Give peace, O God, give peace again.
3 Whom shall we trust but you, O Lord?
Where rest but on your faithful Word?
None ever called on you in vain.
Give peace, O God, give peace again.
4 Where saints and angels dwell above,
All hearts are knit in holy love;
O bind us in that heavenly chain.
Give peace, O God, give peace again. Amen. Topics: The Nation Peace Tune Title: PAX
