1. God of grace and God of glory, On Thy people pour Thy power; Now fulfill Thy church's story, Bring her bud to glorious flower. Grant us wisdom, grant us courage, For the facing of this hour. 2. Lo, the host of evil round us Scorn Thy Christ, as sail His ways; From the fears that long have bound us Free the hearts to faith and praise. Grant us wisdom, grant us courage, For the facing of this hour. 3. Cure Thy children's warning madness, Bend our pride to Thy control; Shame our wanton, selfish gladness Rich on goods and poor in soul. Grant us wisdom, grant us courage, Least 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 all free. Grant us wisdom, grant us courage, That we fail not man nor Thee.
