607- God of Grace and God of Glory
Christian Life: Christian Warfare
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 hosts of evil round us
- Scorn Thy 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 facing of this hour.
3
- Cure Thy children's warring madness,
- Bend our pride to Thy control;
- Shame our wanton, selfish gladness
- Rich in goods and poor in soul.
- Grant us wisdom, grant us courage,
- Lest 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.
