Author: Mary E. Byrne; Eleanor H. Hull Meter: 10.10.9.10 Appears in 159 hymnals Topics: Empowerment First Line: Be thou my vision, O Lord of my heart Lyrics: 1 Be thou my vision, O Lord of my heart;
naught be all else to me, save that thou art
thou my best thought, by day or by night,
waking or sleeping, thy presence my light.
2 Be thou my wisdom, and thou my true word;
I ever with thee and thou with me, Lord;
thou my redeemer, my love thou hast won,
thou in me dwelling, and I with thee one.
3 Riches I heed not, nor vain empty praise,
thou mine inheritance, now and always:
thou and thou only, first in my heart,
Great God of heaven, my treasure thou art.
3 Great God of heaven, my victory won,
may I reach heaven's joys, O bright heaven's Sun!
Heart of my heart, whatever befall,
still be my vision, O Ruler of all. Used With Tune: SLANE Text Sources: Irish song (8th century)

God of Grace and God of Glory
Author: Harry Emerson Fosdick Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.7 Appears in 155 hymnals Topics: Empowerment Lyrics: 1 God of grace and God of glory,
on thy people pour thy power;
crown thine ancient church’s story;
bring its bud to glorious flower.
Grant us wisdom, grant us courage,
for the facing of this hour,
for the facing of this hour.
2 Lo! the hosts of evil round us
scorn thy Christ, assail thy 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.
3 Cure 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 righteous goal,
lest we miss thy righteous goal.
4 Set our feet on lofty places;
fill our lives that we may be
strengthened with all Christ-like graces
pledges to set all captives free.
Grant us wisdom, grant us courage,
lest we fail our call from thee,
lest we fail our call from thee.
5 Save us from weak resignation
to the evils we deplore;
let the search for thy salvation
be our glory evermore.
Grant us wisdom, grant us courage,
serving thee whom we adore,
serving thee whom we adore. Used With Tune: CWM RHONDDA

Gracious Spirit, Dwell with Me
Author: Thomas T. Lynch Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 199 hymnals Topics: Empowerment Lyrics: 1 Gracious Spirit, dwell with me:
I myself would gracious be,
and with words that help and heal,
would thy life in mine reveal,
and, with actions bold and meek,
would for Christ my Savior speak.
2 Truthful Spirit, dwell with me:
I myself would truthful be.
and with wisdom kind and clear,
let thy life in mine appear,
and, with actions lovingly,
mirror Christ's sincerity.
3 Silent Spirit, dwell with me:
I myself would silent be,
quiet as the growing blade,
which through earth its way has made,
silently, like morning light,
putting mists and chills to flight.
4 Mighty Spirit, dwell with me:
I myself would mighty be,
mighty so as to prevail
where unaided I would fail,
ever, by a mighty hope,
pressing on and bearing up.
5 Holy Spirit, dwell with me:
I myself would holy be;
break from sin and choose the good,
cherish what my Savior would,
and whatever I can be
give to God who gave me thee.

Of Women, and of Women's Hopes We Sing
Author: Shirley Erena Murray Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Empowerment Lyrics: 1 Of women, and of women's hopes we sing:
of sharing in creation's nurturing,
of bearing and of birthing new belief,
of passion for the promises of life.
2 We praise God whose image is our own,
the mystery within our flesh and bone,
the woman-spirit moving through all time
in prophecy, Magnificat and dream.
3 We labor for the commonwealth of God,
and equal as disciples, walk the road,
in work and status, asking what is just,
for sisters of the family of Christ.
4 Forgiving what is past, we seek the new:
a finer justice, and a peace more true,
the promise of empowering for our day
when men and women roll the stone away. Used With Tune: SURSUM CORDA
