God of Grace and God of Glory

Author: Harry Emerson Fosdick Hymnal: The Worshipbook #393 (1972) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Topics: Civil Year New Year; Civil Year Independence Day; Civil Year Labor Day Lyrics: 1 God of grace and God of glory, On your people pour your power; Crown the 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 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 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 the Kingdom's goal, Lest we miss the Kingdom's goal. 4 Save us from weak resignation To the evils we deplore; Let the search for your salvation Be our glory evermore. Grant us wisdom, Grant us courage, Serving God whom we adore, Serving God whom we adore. Amen. Scripture: Acts 2:17-18 Tune Title: CWM RHONDDA
