GOD OF GRACE + GOD OF GLORY

LYRICS

Verse 1:
God of grace and God of glory, on Your people pour Your pow'r
Crown Your ancient Church's story
Bring its bud to glorious flow'r
Multiply our faith and worship, give us eyes to see You now
Grant us wisdom, grant us courage for the facing of this hour
For the facing of this hour

Verse 2:
Lo, the hosts 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
Multiply our faith and worship, let our ears hear all You say
Grant us wisdom, grant us courage for the living of these days
For the living of these days

Chorus:
God of grace, God of glory
On Your people, pour Your pow'r
Pour Your pow'r! Pour Your pow'r!

Verse 3:
Cure Your children's warring madness
Bend our pride to Your control
Shame our wanton, selfish gladness
Rich in things and poor in soul
Multiply our faith and worship, help our hearts and hands let go
Grant us wisdom, grant us courage, lest we miss Your kingdom's goal
Lest we miss Your kingdom's goal

  • This hymn is a prayer that we love, where we ask for God’s wisdom and courage to face the problems of our day. We beg for God’s power, confess our fear and pride, and affirm a desire to seek God’s justice in the world. We think that’s something we should repeat, and we believe the Lord loves to hear the cries of His people. Grant us wisdom, Lord! Grant us courage, Lord! Pour out Your power, Lord! Come, Lord Jesus! Come, Lord Jesus!
