God of grace and God of glory

- 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.
- Lo! the hosts of evil round us
- Scorn Thy 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.
- Heal 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.
- Set our feet on lofty places;
- Gird our lives that they may be
- Armoured with all Christlike graces
- In the fight to set men free.
- Grant us wisdom,
- Grant us courage,
- That we fail not man nor Thee.
- Save us from weak resignation
- To the evils we deplore;
- Let the search for Thy salvation
- Be our glory ever more.
- Grant us wisdom,
- Grant us courage,
- Serving Thee whom we adore
