<p>God of grace and God of glory,<br>
On Thy people pour Thy power.<br>
Crown Thine ancient church&#8217;s story,<br>
Bring her bud to glorious flower.<br>
Grant us wisdom, grant us courage,<br>
For the facing of this hour,<br>
For the facing of this hour.
<p>Lo! the hosts of evil &#8217;round us,<br>
Scorn Thy Christ, assail His ways.<br>
From the fears that long have bound us,<br>
Free our hearts to faith and praise.<br>
Grant us wisdom, grant us courage,<br>
For the living of these days,<br>
For the living of these days.
<p>Cure Thy children&#8217;s warring madness,<br>
Bend our pride to Thy control.<br>
Shame our wanton selfish gladness,<br>
Rich in things and poor in soul.<br>
Grant us wisdom, grant us courage,<br>
Lest we miss Thy kingdom&#8217;s goal,<br>
Lest we miss Thy kingdom&#8217;s goal.
<p>Set our feet on lofty places,<br>
Gird our lives that they may be,<br>
Armored with all Christ-like graces,<br>
In the fight to set men free.<br>
Grant us wisdom, grant us courage,<br>
That we fail not man nor Thee,<br>
That we fail not man nor Thee.
<p>Save us from weak resignation,<br>
To the evils we deplore.<br>
Let the search for Thy salvation,<br>
Be our glory evermore.<br>
Grant us wisdom, grant us courage,<br>
Serving Thee Whom we adore,<br>
Serving Thee Whom we adore.</p>
