Sheet music
- 1God of grace and God of glory,On Thy people pour Thy pow’r;Crown Thine ancient church’s story,Bring her bud to glorious flow’r.Grant us wisdom, Grant us courage,For the facing of this hour,For the facing of this hour.
- 2Lo! the hosts of evil round usScorn 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 living of these days,For the living of these days.
- 3Cure 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,Lest we miss Thy kingdom’s goal.
- 4Set our feet on lofty places,Gird our lives that they may beArmored with all Christ-like gracesIn the fight to set men free.Grant us wisdom, Grant us courage,That we fail not man nor Thee,That we fail not man nor Thee.Amen.
