\nGod of grace and God of glory,
\nOn Thy people pour Thy power;
\nNow fulfill Thy church\u2019s story,
\nBring her bud to glorious flower.
\nGrant us wisdom, grant us courage,
\nFor the facing of this hour.<\/p>\n
2
\nLo, the hosts of evil round us
\nScorn Thy Christ, assail His ways;
\nFrom the fears that long have bound us
\nFree our hearts to faith and praise.
\nGrant us wisdom, grant us courage,
\nFor the facing of this hour.<\/p>\n
3
\nCure Thy children\u2019s warring madness,
\nBend our pride to Thy control;
\nShame our wanton selfish gladness
\nRich in goods and poor in soul.
\nGrant us wisdom, grant us courage,
\nLest we miss Thy kingdom\u2019s goal.<\/p>\n
4
\nSet our feet on lofty places,
\nGird our lives that they may be
\nArmored with all Christ-like graces
\nIn the fight to set all free.
\nGrant us wisdom, grant us courage,
\nThat we fail not man nor Thee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
