God of Grace and God of Glory

God of grace and God of glory
On Your people pour Your power
Crown Your ancient Church's story
Bring its bud to glorious flower

Grant us wisdom, grant us courage
For the facing of this hour
Yeah, this hour

Lo the host 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
Yeah, these days

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
Yeah, Your goal

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
Yeah, adore
